mdadm - raid1 - sata - udev - kernel-2.6.16-2-686 - Problems
debian sarge - mdadm 1.8.0-4sarge1
------------------------------------------------------------
my problem is that on reboot the only md device that comes up is md1 which
is the / device that gets compiled into the initrd.img.
in the boot sequence when it comes to mounting the others from /etc/fstab it
can't find the md device and drops me to maintentance mode.
If I remove the devices from fstab and just let the initrd.img do it's stuff
then it boots fine. from that point If I run /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid start it
doesn't work, but if I run /sbin/mdrun then all the md devices appear as
they should.
I am a little confused as to what's happening, If I put /sbin/mdrun in the
init.d and run it at level 20 the md devices will load, but they still will
not mount correctly out of /etc/fstab.
After it has booted i can mount manually no problems.
I have added these to /etc/udev/links.conf
M md0 b 9 0
M md1 b 9 1
M md2 b 9 2
M md3 b 9 3
M md4 b 9 4
I am wondering if this is something to do with udev.
Any Clues anyone ?
Richard
