Hi Martin,

thanks for the help: It is working now!

...

But, still with "/dev/md3" as root filesystem and not "/dev/md2" (my
debian stable is on /dev/md1)... ;-)

Do you have any clue as why the name of my RAID arrays were changed
during the upgrade?

Also, there is still this problem that "mdadm --examine --scan" reports
2 /dev/md4 array:

ARRAY /dev/md4 level=raid1 num-devices=2
UUID=8cfd7b3f:f44097e3:010d5bfc:5a080252
ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2
UUID=c9d8a15d:69fcfbf6:b89fb943:69968fad
ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 num-devices=2
UUID=947adb2e:9b939d79:1998a9c0:14891ae4
ARRAY /dev/md3 level=raid1 num-devices=2
UUID=8ac60f9b:d74f9589:c2bf554b:0cad9b87
ARRAY /dev/md4 level=raid1 num-devices=2
UUID=811eaa24:c9694dbc:5fa24ebc:83dc003d
ARRAY /dev/md5 level=raid1 num-devices=2
UUID=fe7cbc7c:00b73704:1321a79d:dcfcd580
ARRAY /dev/md6 level=raid1 num-devices=2
UUID=aaedc3a2:78e89542:bcc7b974:19ab8fa3

I guess this will lead to another problematic upgrade one day in the future?

Also, what is the difference between "update-initramfs -u -k all" and
"dpkg-reconfigure -plow mdadm". Isn't the second command calling the
first? Because I had tried the 2nd command already without success...
But maybe I did forgot something else at that time...

Thanks again,

Cyrille
