Hope I'm not butting in here, but... |

Although I don't run systemd nor do I have an initramfs, the grub.conf entry |
| 12 |
for my LVM2 setup is just these two lines: |

title=Gentoo Linux 3.12.13 |
| 15 |
kernel /boot/kernel-x86_64-3.12.13-gentoo root=/dev/md5 net.ifnames=0 |

I've noticed several times (often much to my annoyance before I discovered |
| 18 |
what to do about it*) that starting of the raid arrays is automatic, |
| 19 |
apparently done by the kernel though I could be wrong about that. In fact I |
| 20 |
was astonished to find not long ago that I'd been running for a year or two |
| 21 |
with neither lvm2 nor mdraid installed! |

* SystemRescueCD and the Gentoo minimal installation CD both start any raid |
| 24 |
arrays they find and apply their own names to them. It is then impossible, or |
| 25 |
so I thought, to resume an interrupted installation process. Of course, all I |
| 26 |
had to do was "mdadm --stop /dev/md127" etc. |
