You're welcome, Dmitrijs. Now that this system is finally behaving itself (for the first time in the better part of a year!) I can now look at this properly functioning configuration and compare it with the previously broken one. It is becoming more clear what happened. (Note: all of the follo

Please ignore this bug report. I now believe this problem was caused by a configuration error in my RAID setup. In particular, two different arrays had the same 'name' (I think this is the 'name' recorded in the array superblocks -- IMHO, 'name' has become an over-conflated term in the context

@Atheg: (Note that I am totally guessing about this, and all of the following may be less than helpful) AFAIK, installing tcl8.4 doesn't roll back anything. I just checked my system, and I now have both 8.4 and 8.5 installed where I only had 8.5 before. I don't know if this presents any problem

This does NOT fix this issue for me. My system still boots up with some RAID arrays not running. Every single time. This system has six SATA drives on two controllers. It contains seven RAID arrays, a mix of RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 6; all are listed in fstab. Some use 0.90.0 metadata and so
