The file /etc/mdadm.conf does not exist on the LiveCD. Therefore the md
devices should not be renamed...?
Bluejay, do you see /etc/mdadm.conf, if you boot your system with the
LiveCD?
I've checked the Live CD that I have and it doesn't have
"/etc/mdadm.conf". The install that I made with the Live CD does have
one though, which I find confusing because I thought (incorrectly it
seems) that a Live CD install is made from the same image as the Live
CD itself. It doesn't have "HOMEHOST<system>" but it is set to
automount some arrays.
In SL6, the LiveCD install first copies the LiveCD image to hard drive.
Afterwards anaconda is finishing the install which includes to create
/etc/mdadm.conf:
# mdadm.conf written out by anaconda
This was not the case for SL5 and SL4 LiveCD, where the install was just a copy
of the running LiveCD to hard drive.
