Which was a little bit of an eyesore, but after I figured out that my problem was the missing boot parameter, and added an explicit boot parameter for the partition, the problem went away, and the array was assigned a reasonable, low /dev/md minor device number. It is not necessary to declare volumes with boot parameters. I've found that having a proper line in mdadm.conf is enough; but you have to rebuild the initramfs, because it contains a copy of the mdadm.conf. A file like: MAILADDR root AUTO +imsm +1.x -all ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=xxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxx (with correct UUID) will be enough to avoid /dev/md127. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
