Just to expand a bit on the linked thread: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Gentoo now has support for creating the device nodes at boot time, in |
| 21 |
the stable baselayout, which should be 1.11.12-r4 at this point. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
To enable it, you need: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
1. A proper /etc/raidtab or /etc/mdadm.conf (mdadm.conf preferred) |
| 26 |
2. The mdadm tools emerged. |
| 27 |
3. Add "md" to RC_VOLUME_ORDER in /etc/conf.d/rc. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The above should trigger then execution of |
| 30 |
/lib/rcscripts/addons/raid-start.sh during startup which will create the |
| 31 |
device nodes for you. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I did not know any of this before I posted regarding the RAID device |
| 34 |
nodes in the linked thread... |
