udev doesn't handle software raid devices. You need to edit /etc/conf.d/rc, and make sure that "raid" appears in RC_VOLUME_ORDER. You will also need to edit/create /etc/mdadm.conf to describe your raid array. Gentoo will then take care of creating the raid devices as part of the system startup. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
