Hi, I have almost working RAID50 (two RAID5 forms RAID0) in my Linux-mint13. When booting the system always ends up in initramfs shell, saying it cannot find the "root". When I type "cat /proc/mdstat" I see that both RAID5 are available, but they did not form RAID0. So I do "mdadm -A --scan" to finish the raid creation. After that I can exit the initramfs shell and system finishes booting (and works later) without any problems. Of course initramfs image is in sync with root (/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file is the same in initramfs and rootfs). This is what my system is using: kernel 3.5.0-26-generic mdadm - v3.2.5 - 18th May 2012 To summarize, I have RAID50 which _almost_ works. It just needs to be pushed/kicked during the boot. Could you advise my how can I automatize the process, so I do not need to type "mdadm -A --scan;exit" every time I switch on my computer? Thanks a lot in advance, Alexander.
