In my case the /etc/mdadm.conf has RRAY /dev/md0 metadata=1.2 name=xxx ... where xxx is the hostname which is also in the RAID superblock. I would therefore recommend that the pacman hook file which is used to build the initrd use the --mdadmconf option. I will note that the file is not included even with -H or --include /etc/mdadm.conf. best gene
