My setup has LVM over RAID, so first the array is put together, then LVM looks for its own things, then the volumes are mounted. It seems mdadm can scan & assemby, so can LVM. In the end there are LVM volumes, which have a well defined name. I do not see how the "homehost" plays a role, here. > Could you research this and let us know how dracut invokes mdadm? Well, thanks that you asked, I can have a look, but, as usual, I cannot promise anything. bye, -- piergiorgio -- 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
