What's the problem with mdadm and openrc?
openrc terminates mdmon too early and so every time I rebooted this machine when it had a RAID it marked the array as dirty and rebuilt it. The PC was not usable while it was rebuilding, it was so dang slow, not to mention extra wear and tear on the drives. I had a workaround to this but it stopped working so I went to systemd, which helped that problem, but systemd gave me new problems... like the inability to wait for a network to be up before mounting remote nfs drives. openrc handles this just fine, I have an old Mint install and it too worked fine without intervention. I spent a couple weeks trying to figure out why systemd refused to wait for networkmanager to bring the network up, I gave up.
The thing is it used to work with systemd, then there was a couple updates and it stopped working. I unmasked a newer version with the same results.
The best I got was systemd would sometimes mount half the remote nfs mounts and timeout on the other half.
