Since upgrading to mdadm 3 I have had to remove the udev rules file for mdadm

Even with them removed if something happens to an array that drops an
element, both parts result in an array being created instead of leaving
the failed elements alone. However, this does stop the boot process
from completing.
Gnome has been fubar'd since the mass rebuild making a bit harder to
fill in bug reports (and a lot of other stuff), but I'll eventually
get around to filing a real bug report.

The md126 and md127 arrays shouldn't exist. They started showing up after
sdb3 and sdb6 had issues during a boot that got them kicked out of their
arrays.
With the mdadm udev rules file in place I also get an md128.


This thread hit home this weekend. My RAID drives decided to show up like the above. Some had both drives working and others just one.

When I was setting up F10, I had problems with the raid arrays and it took some time to figure out that I needed to manually create the mdadm.conf file. This is what I needed to get rid of the md126/127 type numbers that started to appear.

As long as I tried to depend on the udev, I couldn't create RAID 1 arrays.
