Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.59b hi... if you're going to use "mdrun /dev" and launch all arrays during the initrd then you should also include mdadm.conf -- because otherwise you may end up starting arrays on the wrong minors... or even worse, if someone is using partitioned md then you

Package: yaird Version: 0.0.12-3 it's generally preferable to tell mdadm to scan the partitions list to find raid component devices by UUID rather than specify the device list explicitly... for example with an explicit device list you can end up with boot failures if one of the devices is miss

fyi -- linus has accepted a patch into 2.6.16 which fixes the kernel's behaviour in this case. the kernel was requiring O_APPEND in F_SETFL on append-only files even if the file was opened for read-only... now it requires that the F_SETFL isn't trying to change the O_APPEND flag on an append-on

mdrun does not respect the device minor numbers at all... this can totally mess up the ordering of md devices and screw with static mounts (note that while mounting by label/uuid is preferable it isn't always available -- for example XFS external log partitions cannot be specified by label or u
