I should have mentioned I'm using Gentoo, sorry. I'll look for a dracut command, but I don't recall seeing it. Assuming I don't have such a command, anyone know what kind of parameters I'd pass to mkinitrd? Or to any other similar program to build an init-rd that has mdadm and the mdadm.conf in it and calls mdadm to assemble the raid? --- Dan On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 6:08 AM, Michael Torrie <[email protected]> wrote: > On 04/29/2015 01:19 AM, Dan Egli wrote: > > Also, since I have almost no experience building an initrd, the manual > page > > seems to indicate that auto detecting and starting of the array is not > > supported with 1.x superblocks and isn't a good idea anyway, but that you > > should use an initrd to start the array.
