[gentoo-user] Getting genkernel to use newer dmraid

2011-07-11 Thread Daniel Frey
Hi all, I've been trying to get genkernel to use a newer version of dmraid. For some reason, genkernel is using a build from 2006 (!) I've tried an ubuntu livecd which uses a build that's available in portage that works with my fakeraid. All this to try to dual-boot using a raid 1+0. I've

[gentoo-user] Run command after root mounted ro?

Greetings, I discovered a possible reason for mdadm always marking my raid array as bad on reboot. The problem is I don't know how to check for the issue. When using root on a native mdadm raid, the kernel handles the array state transition at shutdown, so it's not a big deal. However, it's
