Hello, using non-'standard' names for raid-arrays like /dev/md/root always leads to (more or less) dynamically assigned device minors 127+. Wouldn't it be possible to use the Preferred Minor hint from the array's superblock or the super-minor option from the mdadm.conf? This would lead to more stable minors and would thus make booting from such devices a lot easier - especially for lilo systems :) regards Mario -- We know that communication is a problem, but the company is not going to discuss it with the employees. -- Switching supervisor, AT&T Long Lines Division - 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
