>=sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0_alpha2 no longer directly initialises the volume addons located in /lib/rcscripts/addons. The solution is to provide an initscript to be run at boot that starts the raid addon. Further background info in bugs #177100 and #175983.
Created attachment 118774 [details] raid initscript for baselayout-2 Had to add lvm to `before', else lvm would try to start before all the raid arrays were initialised. Presumably this would be the same for other volume addons like evms?

Right, the volume init scripts should not depend on each other in the script. At most provide defaults via RC_USE/RC_NEED/RC_BEFORE/RC_AFTER so the user can decide the correct order.

How does VOLUME_ORDER from conf.d/volumes relate to this? It appears to define an order in which the addons are started, yet I cannot see where this is sourced during init.

Just upgraded to baselayout-2.0.0-rc2-r1 and ran into this myself. Worked around it temporarily with md= additions to the the kernel command line. Now that I'm up and running again, I was able to find this bug and simply copied the lvm script to mdraid. Suggestion: The attachment here is called "raid". Given the various kinds of raid, that's ambiguous. mdraid should be suitably more descriptive, IMO. Question: The attachment here is slightly different than the existing lvm initscript (in rc2-r1). Which style is current?

Of course, as I quickly discovered, as currently written with the ${SVCNAME} placeholder, the addon script and the initscript must have the same name. <doh> Still, mdraid for both seems appropriate.
mdadm-2.6.3-r1 in the tree with this fix.
