okay so long story short, you only want the mdadm.conf updating in AIF.
there's a catch about your proposal though:
- it's hard to parse fstab
- you would only know the blockdevices after user configured fstab,
which is after prefill_config (note the *pre* fill part. this stuff
is supposed to happen so that the user can change the config
manually after it)
why? Couldn't a mdadm -Es > /mnt/etc/mdadm.conf be suffice?
I don't think you would have to parse fstab, All that you doing is makin
a mdadm.conf...which you can do after thye raid is constructed.
mdadm -Es > /etc/mdadm.conf
mdadm -As
And the mdadm.con is made and the array is started.
is it not an option to just look at all blockdevices?
for example, what do you have in /proc/partitions on your raid system?
