urgs yes there is a typo in scripts/local-top/mdraid, needs to use /conf/mdadm.conf that is created by mkinitramfs, instead of /etc/mdadm.conf. please post which mdadm version you are using? dpkg -l mdadm also please post the output of mdadm --examine --scan > The script I added is (less the <script></script> tags): looks sane and nice quick workaround. thanks for report! -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
