The most likely cause is that the kernel starts its autodetection on the disk where / (or /boot?) lie. mdadm.conf has the following lines: DEVICE /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1 DEVICE /dev/md0 /dev/hdd7 ARRAY /dev/md0 devices=/dev/hda1,/dev/hdb1 ARRAY /dev/md1 devices=/dev/md0,/dev/hdd7 Since I can add kernel parameters for starting raids (see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/md.txt) I'm thinking about telling the kernel explicitly to start md0 in the hope that this happens before autodetection. Stay tuned ;)
