All, Has anyone on this list seen/reviewed the Ubuntu document at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReliableRaid My concerns are the following (but I have to prefix them with the admission that my knowledge is too limited to be sure whether my concerns are valid): - The document comes across as being dismissive of some of the mdadm auto-assembly functionality, although this may be specific to the way in which mdadm is/was being used in Ubuntu. - Some of the solutions to the identified problems appear dangerous. Example: unclear policy with regard to HOMEHOST in the absence of an mdadm.conf file or continued support of the use cases HOMEHOST was intended for. - Suggestion that a configuration file might still be needed in order to capture RAID dependencies (such as on lvm and crypt), and that this file might be auto-generated. The discussion then goes on to say how this would be done based on major/minor numbers, which I believe run the risk of not being stable across boots. I really hope that my concerns are unfounded, and I'd feel a lot better if I were told so on this list.
