Greetings, I have a RAID1 array setup of the following /dev/md0 [linear raid array consisting of two 500GB SATA drives] /dev/md1 [RAID1 array consisting of /dev/md0 and one 1TB SATA drive] here is my /proc/mdstat -------- Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] md1 : active raid1 md0[0] sde1[2] 976639296 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU] md0 : active linear sdb1[0] sdc1[1] 976770537 blocks super 1.2 0k rounding unused devices: <none> -------- However, on every reboot, the md1 array is in degraded mode and I get dumped to a intramfs shell. I can then assemble the said array - i.e. mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/md0 /dev/sde1 and everything is fine. Is it possible to have such an array auto assembled and how?
