Just to expand a bit on the linked thread: Gentoo now has support for creating the device nodes at boot time, in the stable baselayout, which should be 1.11.12-r4 at this point. To enable it, you need: 1. A proper /etc/raidtab or /etc/mdadm.conf (mdadm.conf preferred) 2. The mdadm tools emerged. 3. Add "md" to RC_VOLUME_ORDER in /etc/conf.d/rc. The above should trigger then execution of /lib/rcscripts/addons/raid-start.sh during startup which will create the device nodes for you. I did not know any of this before I posted regarding the RAID device nodes in the linked thread... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
