Just adding /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf to the initrd does not seem > to work, since mdrun seems to ignore it?! yeah it looks like "mdrun /dev" just seems to assign things in the order they're discovered without consulting the preferred minor. it seems to me "mdrun /dev" is about the worst thing possible to use in an initrd. i opened a bug yesterday <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361674> ... it seems really they should stop using mdrun entirely... when i get a chance i'll try updating the bug (or go ahead and add your own experiences to it). oh hey take a look at this bug for debian mdadm package <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354705> ... he intends to deprecate mdrun. -dean - 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
