i am curious. i am running 2.6.8 kernel on sarge. i tried to avoid recompiling my kernel and would prefer to load the raid5 driver as a module, and thus use initrd.img. however, in my initial setup, after i ran mknod /dev/md0 and then rebooted, /dev/md0 dissapeared, (perhaps this udev? is the culpret? who knows?). well what do i do to make it appear each boot? or perhaps, once i create the initrd with raid5 module in it, then it will appear without my doing mknod /dev/md0 each time, or do i need a script in /etc/rcS.d or /etc/rc2.d to do mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0 each reboot? any ideas? mknod /dev/md0 Mitchell > > Hope that helps.
