Hi guys,

I'm having an issue since a long date, which is ennoying me on multiple gentoo systems I setted-up.
My issue is with mdadm.
When booting, most of time (not always), I'm having some arrays that doesn't start, and I can't find where I missed something.

Quote:
# cat /etc/mdadm.conf | tail -n 1
ARRAY /dev/md/5 metadata=1.2 UUID=b2bdfcac:7913c315:a846fef1:0c6d9b6c name=ostest:5


Quote:
# cat /proc/mdstat
md5 : inactive sdb5[1](S)
314441728 blocks super 1.2


Quote:
# rc-update show | grep mdadm
mdadm | boot


Of course if I manually do
mdadm --stop /dev/md5 && mdadm --assemble /dev/md5

It's working, but I would like to have it auto started...

Quote:
# mdadm --detail /dev/md5

Try changing it to:

Code:
ARRAY /dev/md5 UUID=b2bdfcac:7913c315:a846fef1:0c6d9b6c


That's all you need, all other conditions (name, etc.) can prevent it from working.

Apart from that, show dmesg and mdadm --examine /dev/sd*, preferably full output no | tail | grep etc.
