The non-determinism in which identifiers are shown might be a bug in the installer, or it might be caused by failure of ID commands to the drives. I think most of the problems you're still having must be caused by a bug in the RAID driver, mpt2sas (or its firmware, if that's not

I conjecture that there may be two to five separate issues. 1. Setting up md0 upon boot takes a long time. rootdelay=20 fixes this. 2. There is a problem writing to disk. Perhaps just writing to certain blocks. Because even when the machine boots with rootdelay=20, and md0 has all 6 comp
