Once you have mdadm.conf you have pretty hard rules about what to look for and how to assemble it - ie. there is not much left to "auto" detect. Real autodetection would mean there is _no_ such information available, and you figure out everything by just looking at the devices you find. > initramfs procedure. > Also consider 1.x allows to choose which arrays are autoassembled > (hostname written in the array name equal to hostname in the machine > or specified in mdadm.conf): this is more precise than 0.9 which > autoassembles all, I think. And also causes much more pain when you install machines on an internal network where it gets a random name (in fact all new machines get the same temporary name), then it is moved to its real location and reconfigured with its real name. And you wonder why your arrays aren't assembled any more...
