Subject: [PATCH 0/1] RFC: Use /dev/md/X as default name
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:53:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1423684389-10977-1-git-send-email-Jes.Sorensen@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@redhat.com>

I have received some issues for when creating an array using a
/dev/mdX name, the matching symlink in /dev/md/X isn't
created. Whereas if you create /dev/md/X, /dev/mdX is created
automatically.

I was trying to see if there was a better way of dealing with this,
but I couldn't find one. If you have suggestions for a better solution
I am all ears.

Thoughts?

Jes
