1 I came across this too. The misnamed device is still perfectly usable.
2 If you boot from something with an unconfigured or misconfigured
3 initramfs (such as the install CD?) and need to chroot into a system,
4 deactivating the array and reassembling it, even using --scan, should
5 name it properly.
6
7 Configuring /etc/mdadm.conf and then setting MDADM_CONFIG in
8 /etc/genkernel.conf (or supplying --mdadm-config) before creating your
9 initramfs will name the device properly. If you are not using an
10 initramfs then I'm not sure this will be a persistent issue.
