But then, I could use my own desktop to test it :-)
FWIW, here's the patch for Fedora rawhide's mkinitrd that worked for
me. I figured even without --homehost it worked fine, even without
HOMEHOST set in mdadm.conf.
I hope copying mdadm.conf to initrd won't ever hurt, can you think of
any case in which it would?
