Package: initrd-tools Version: 0.1.84 currently for a root on md raid mkinitrd does something like this:
mdadm -A /dev/md3 -R -u 2b3a5b77:c7b4ab81:a2b8322a:db5c4e88 /dev/sdb4 /dev/sda4 however this has the problem that it will require the root raid devices to always reside at /dev/sda4 and /dev/sdb4. in practice it's way more desirable to let mdadm go find the root devices using the UUID -- so that if you have to shuffle drives/controllers around the system will still boot without problems. the way to do this is: mdadm -A /dev/md3 -R --config=partitions -u 2b3a5b77:c7b4ab81:a2b8322a:db5c4e88 note that the devices aren't specified at all -- mdadm will look at any and all partitions for raid superblocks with the specified UUID. i'd suggest using --config=partitions by default and possibly providing a mkinitrd.conf option to revert to the explicit device name list. -dean -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
