List,
I had a power failure today, no UPS. I had my gentoo box setup to use raid on /dev/md1 and /dev/md0. I have devfs on. When I reboot my system cannot find /dev/md1, but can find /dev/md0. /etc/raidtab is OK, if I boot off the livecd (2004.3) I can say raidstart /dev/md0 and /dev/md1, file system is intact (sweet!) and all that. So how do I make the devfs see my /dev/md1 file? Making the file in /mnt/gentoo/dev/ when booting from the livecd doesn't persist when I reboot cause devfs is overwriting it. Help! I need devfs to make /dev/md1 properly, ideas?

So now I've discovered that devfs used /dev/md/0 and /dev/md/1 My rootfs is on /dev/md/1. I edited /etc/raidtab and /etc/fstab to reflect this fact. No when I reboot I can successfully remount root (/dev/md/1) rw,noatime (ext3). But when /etc/init.d/checkfs runs it tries to start up the raid devices (via raidstart) that are already running and mounted and states that /dev/md/1 is not valid RAID0 device!, but it is and is currently mounted and useable. I tried to chmod 0444 /etc/init.d/checkfs to stop it from doing this nonsense but to no avail. What should I try now? My raid is in good shape, but can't boot.
