Are you sure that there's nothing left running from your initrd that
could be holding open, say, some block device that comprises part of
your RAID array?
No, I'm not sure. Both suitable ramdisk-creators in Debian (initramfs
and yaird) supposedly delete everything in the ram disk before
switching root, but that may not be enough.
The yaird image I'm using is 1.5MB in size, if anyone wants to take a
look at it. Its init script follows below.
Thanks,
C.
