Indeed I do not understand why mdrun does this. Anyway, the problem is that while udev is supposed to create the devices it cannot do it until the RAID array has been assembled, and the array cannot be assembled unless the device node is available. This needs to be fixed in the kernel, but apparently nobody cares enough. -- ciao, Marco ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
