I don't read french, so I don't know what that URL said, but device naming is not an issue. All you need to do is change the partition type to fd "Linux raid autodetect", then either: 1) Compile all the raid/ide/scsi drivers you need into the kernel, and all your arrays will be automagically created on startup. 2) Add an entry like at the bottom of page 1 of the linuxdevcenter article, except all you actually need is this: DEVICE partitions ARRAY /dev/md0 uuid=8ef83d67:79b230ba:6cc967c3:208b9224 I have a SATA card that doesn't have in kernel drivers, so I have to load a module, which naturally means the kernel can't autostart all my arrays, but mdadm can without me having to tell it any device nodes. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
