You can still use mdadm to assemble root filesystems: you just need an initramfs or initrd to do the work before / is mounted. (As a bonus you can fsck it before it's mounted, as well.) Most distros have tools that can do this for you, or you can do it by hand (see e.g. <http://linux-raid.osdl.org/index.php/RAID_Boot>). -- `When we are born we have plenty of Hydrogen but as we age our Hydrogen pool becomes depleted.' - 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
