Originally, mdadm used /var/run/mdadm/mdadm.map file to store the

Unfortunately, this breaks incremental assembly if used early in the
booting process. Specifically, root may still be read only. Since
incremental assembly is largely a udev specific feature, and udev
needs a writable /dev tmpfs mount even when root is still read only,
it's safer to put our mdadm.map file in /dev/md so that we can write
to the map file no matter how early in the boot process we are
attempting to use incremental assembly.
What about /lib/init/rw?
What is that?, i never heard of '/lib/init/rw' before
