I think the current situation is good, since there is some danger of going too far. for instance, testing each partition to see whether it contains a valid superblock would be pretty crazy, right? requiring either the "auto-assemble-me" partition type, or explicit partitions given in a config file is a happy medium...


I created my array in 1/2003, don't know versions of kernel or mdadm I
was using then.

In my situation over the past few days.
 kernel 2.4.30 kicked non-fresh
 kernel 2.6.11.8 kicked non-fresh
 kernel 2.6.18.8 didn't mention anything, just skipped my 'linux'
partitions

These kernels auto-assemble prior to mounting /. So the kernel doesn't
consult my /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file. Is this correct?
i strongly believe it is not correct to let kernel auto-assemble devices
kernel auto-assembly should be disable and activation should be handled
by mdadm only!
