The /dev/md_dNN series of device names are mentioned near the end of the mdadm(8) man-page, in the DEVICE NAMES section. As it turns out, these devices aren't there now -- but they did exist on my server before I upgraded it from Jaunty to Karmic. (You'll just have to take my word for this -- I

I think I may have found the solution (or, at least, a workaround). I replaced all instances of device names of the form /dev/md_dX with corresponding names of the form /dev/mdX (e.g., /dev/md_d1 - /dev/md1). This involved editing /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, and /etc/fstab, and
