The cmd line handling and auto mounting seems to be handled in files like (depending of kernel version I guess): drivers/md/md-autodetect.c init/do_mounts_md.c you can find the correct file with find <kernel top dir> -type f -name \*.c | xargs grep MD_AUTODETECT The problem might be that in format 1.2, the superblock is at 4K from start, could format 1.1 (where the superblock is at start) work ?
