I don't read french, so I don't know what that URL said, but device naming is |
| 8 |
not an issue. |

All you need to do is change the partition type to fd "Linux raid autodetect", |
| 10 |
then either: |
| 11 |
1) Compile all the raid/ide/scsi drivers you need into the kernel, and all |
| 12 |
your arrays will be automagically created on startup. |
| 13 |
2) Add an entry like at the bottom of page 1 of the linuxdevcenter article, |
| 14 |
except all you actually need is this: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
DEVICE partitions |
| 17 |
ARRAY /dev/md0 uuid=8ef83d67:79b230ba:6cc967c3:208b9224 |
| 18 |

I have a SATA card that doesn't have in kernel drivers, so I have to load a |
| 20 |
module, which naturally means the kernel can't autostart all my arrays, but |
| 21 |
mdadm can without me having to tell it any device nodes. |
