raidtab? Your sad devotion to that ancient software has not helped you conjure up the superblocks. Read: man mdadm I have this line in my mdadm.conf: DEVICE /dev/sd[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz][12] It handles the first 2 partitions of the first 26 SCSI disks!

How does one specify the raidtab under this circumstance if the device names are not stable.
