Bug (maybe?) details first, diatribe second.
Bug Summary: multi-hdd / raid with multiple drives / multiple devices or something along those lines cannot be commissioned anymore: 2.4.x worked fine, 2.7.0 does not.
Here is the script output of smartctl-validate:

You can see that it says the storage cannot be found and immediately lists it as a discovered device. It does it for both tests (one for each drive), and for both servers
Bug Details:
I had maas 2.4.x for the longest time over my journey (see below journey) and have never had any problems re-commissioning (or deleting and re-discovering over boot PXE) 2 of my servers (r610, r710).
r610 has an iPERC 6, four 10K X00GB drives configured in a RAID10, 1 virtual disk.
r710 has an iPERC 6, 6x 2TB drives, configured in a RAID10, 2 virtual disks
So commission after commission trying to get through my journey, 0 problems. After I finally get everything figured out on the juju, network/vlan, quad-nic end, I go to re-commission and I cannot. smartctl-validate fails on both, over and over again. I even destroyed and re-created the raid/VDs, still not.
After spending so much time on it I remembered that it was the first time I had tried to re-commission these two servers since doing an upgrade from 2.4.x->2.7 in an effort to use the updated KVM integration to add a couple more guests. Once I got all everything figured out I went to re-commission everything and boom.
[Upgrade path notes]
In full disclosure, in case this matters. I was on apt install of 2.4.x and using snap for 2.7, except it didn't work. So I read on how to do apt 2.7 and did that and did not uninstall snap 2.7 yet. I wanted to migrate from apt to snap but do not know how to without losing all maas data and could not find docs on it, so a problem for another day. But in case that is part of the problem for some odd reason, I wanted to share.
[Diatribe]
My journey to get maas+juju+openstack+kubernets has been less then stellar. I have ran into problem after problem; albeit some of which were my own. I am so close, after spending the last 6 months on/off when I had time, and really hardcore the last 4 days. The last half day of which has been this little gem. Maas has been pretty fun to work with but some thing have been the biggest pain in the a-hole to understand. Like un/managed subnets comes to mind: "Managed: we're going to use IPs, even with DHCP off. Unmanaged: We're still going to use IPs, but be different". Anyway, this doesn't belong here, if it gets modded out that's fine. It makes me feel a little better typing it knowing that I *think* my last problem was solved to get this up and running; just trying to contribute something that I can, back"
I did want to say thanks to those made/maintain maas. Despite the problems I somehow always run into I have enjoyed figuring it out.
