It seems like the simplest way to do this would be to have two mdadm.conf files; one for the root arrays that need to come up right away, one for the FC/iSCSI arrays that need to wait. Is either of these ideas: - run two "mdadm --monitor" processes simultaneously, one for each set of arrays, or - specify two config file arguments to "mdadm --monitor" ...possible? Thanks.
