You don't need all of that... With mdadm can you put your RAID array as persistent. If it is persistent your kernel can use the autodetect function and build it before mount / I have in my raidtab # cat /etc/raidtab raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 chunk-size 4k persistent-superblock 1 nr-raid-disks 2 device /dev/sda2 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdb2 raid-disk 1
After that I built it I use any tools expect, as you, RAID support built in kernel Luigi > Am Donnerstag, 28.
