I know that, it's what I do for last three years. But recently, I've been trying to use modular kernels with SCSI drivers as modules. As the inital kernel raid autodetection happens BEFORE initrd loads the SCSI drivers, it won't work. > You could also use an initrd > to scan the configuration file and start the RAID arrays. > > The second is what most distributions do such as RedHat. Found out that SuSE has another way - they add a 'raidautorun' utility to raidtools, which forces the kernel to re-autodetect raid stuff. It can be used in a initrd, AFTER loading the SCSI driver. With this, it's probably even possible to have RAID compiled as modules.
