Neil, Thanks for your explanation about the kernel autodetect pitfalls. IMHO having a form of kernel space autodetect is an important feature in Linux. It allows you to use a real mirror for the root filessystem. When assambling is done based on root fs files this feature will be lost and the only alternative would be hardware RAID again. > > On Monday September 5, molle.bestefich@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Neil Brown wrote: > > > No. > > > I've never liked kernel autodetect, and while I won't break it, I <big snip> > > Why is it that people never complain about having to put information > in /etc/fstab about what to mount, but they cannot cope with having to > put similar information in /etc/mdadm.conf about what to assemble?? > They would when mounting the root would depend on /etc/fstab :) Bart - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
