I have a server that is configured with the root partition on a RAID-10 array (/dev/md5 is RAID-1 /dev/md[34], /dev/md3 is RAID-0 /dev/sd[ab]2, /dev/md4 is RAID-0 /dev/sd[cd]2). This server boots Linux kernel 2.6.3 off /dev/md0 RAID-1 /dev/sd[abcd]1 (about to upgrade to 2.6.5) but unfortunately requires a complicated custom initrd to boot correctly since the RAID autorun code does not appear to autostart multilayer RAID arrays. Can you offer me any assistance in patching md.c to make it check if any autostarted RAID arrays are themselves components of other RAID arrays that should also be autostarted?
