From my reading initramfs/initrd is the preferred way of handling |
| 24 |
root filesystem on MD RAID - and the only way for metadata 1.[012] |
| 25 |
(although I'm having trouble finding where I read that only 0.90 |
| 26 |
works w/ in-kernel detection/assembly). |

From /usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.7/README.initramfs.bz2: "The preferred |
| 29 |
way to assemble md arrays at boot time is using 'mdadm' or |
| 30 |
'mdassemble' (which is a trimmed-down mdadm). To assemble an array |
| 31 |
which contains the root filesystem, mdadm needs to be run before that |
| 32 |
filesystem is mounted, and so needs to be run from an initial-ram-fs." |

The only "intuitive" interface is the nipple. After that, it's all |

learned. (Bruce Ediger, bediger@××××××××.org, in comp.os.linux.misc, |
