Hi, i'm trying to figure out if it is possible to prevent the automatic reconstruction that can occur during the md assembly at boot. I'm running Kernel 2.6.30.4 and use a RAID-1 over two SATA disks. If the server is rebooted "hard" due to power loss etc. it often happens that the reconstruction of my RAID-1 is automatically triggered by the kernel. Is there any way to prevent this? I want to re-add the "out of sync" drive myself using mdadm only. I'm currently using raid auto detection (partiton type fd) and the old 0.90 superblock format but if it helps i would switch to an initrd/newer superblock. Thanks for your help!
