Hello,
using non-'standard' names for raid-arrays like /dev/md/root always
leads to (more or less) dynamically assigned device minors 127+.
Wouldn't it be possible to use the Preferred Minor hint from the
array's superblock or the super-minor option from the mdadm.conf?
This would lead to more stable minors and would thus make booting from
such devices a lot easier - especially for lilo systems :)
regards
Mario
