Description andcycle-gentoo.bugs 2010-10-30 22:56:19 UTC

I usually just do 
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf
then genkernel

mdadm --detail --scan creates array lines like

ARRAY /dev/md/126_0 metadata=1.2 UUID=blablabla

a direct append into mdadm.conf always result failed assembling,
because domdadm complains about there is no /dev/md directory,

not really an issue, just a suggestion :p

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf
2. genkernel
3. boot with domdadm

Actual Results:  
No such directory

Expected Results:  
md assemble complete, happy boot into root directory

Can you try again with genkernel-99999 (five nines)?
That one is exposing the experimental branch which comes with real mdadm, not that of busybox.

This works for me now with devtmpfs and mdadm.
I do not know what of the changes fixed it, but I think the latter.

Okay, thanks.  Closing.
