Short version:
I have 3 disk arrays and I created several SW Raid 5 mds under 2.4.14 with
devfs, and remade them under 2.4.19 to see whether it helped.
All is well unless one of my disk arrays isn't powered when the system boots
Thanks to devfs, my drives still show up where they're supposed to be but md
tries to access the drives with the /dev/sd?1 names instead of
/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target?/lun0/part1
Longer version:
Just to make sure, I remade the array on top of itself with the following
lines in /etc/raidtab.
raiddev /dev/md3
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 7
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 32
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target8/lun0/part1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target9/lun0/part1
raid-disk 1
device /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target10/lun0/part1
raid-disk 2
device /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target11/lun0/part1
raid-disk 3
device /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target12/lun0/part1
raid-disk 4
device /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target13/lun0/part1
raid-disk 5
device /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target14/lun0/part1
raid-disk 6
Yet, if my other arrays are down at boot time, /dev/md3 doesn't get created
at boot time, and a manual raidstart /dev/md3 yields:

I've even tried making the symlinks:
