It might be worth finding out where mdadm is being run in the init scripts and add a "-v" flag, and redirecting stdout/stderr to some log file. e.g. mdadm -As -v > /var/log/mdadm-$$ 2>&1 And see if that leaves something useful in the log file.
I haven't rebooted yet, but here's my /etc/udev/rules.d/70-mdadm.rules file (BTW - running on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy): SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="add|change", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="linux_raid*", RUN+="watershed -i udev-mdadm /sbin/mdadm -As -v > /var/log/mdadm-$$ 2>&1" # This next line (only) is put into the initramfs, # where we run a strange script to activate only some of the arrays # as configured, instead of mdadm -As: #initramfs# SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="add|change", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="linux_raid*", RUN+="watershed -i udev-mdadm /scripts/local-top/mdadm from-udev" Could that initramfs line be causing the problem? -- Daniel - 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
