Neil, this is a serious issues I guess, affecting those with
/dev/md/X nodes on Debian. Right now I have a workaround in place
that will forcefully ignore /dev/mdX if /dev/md/X is also present
and appears to be used. However, something tells me we really have
to do something more predictable about device names:
----- Forwarded message from martin f krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----
If the system uses /dev/md/X names with version-0 superblocks and
/dev/mdX nodes exist, the initramfs hook fails as it compares
devices according to /proc/mounts with the output of mdadm -E. The
former will have /dev/md/X, the latter will print /dev/mdX, so no
match and no RAID stuff installed to the initramfs.
