The "Gentoo way" to auto mount /dev/md0 every rest

Currently, I have to manuall type
mount /dev/md0 /mnt/md0
after every restart. (The /dev/md0 is auto started, but the mount itself is not)

How can I auto-mount my /dev/md0?

I compiled my kernel with the following MD related options:
CONFIG_MD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=m
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID0=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID1=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID5=m
CONFIG_MD_MULTIPATH=m

Regards,
Sampson

You mount it like any other partition on your system. Check out your /etc/fstab file and use one of those lines as a template.

Something like:

My /etc/fstab already has a line like what you suggested, but it still cannot auto-mount during startup.

I end up to include a mount line to /etc/conf.d/local.start.

What is your fstab line with md0.

what filesystem type did you partition your various slices with? To have automount work, you need to use type fd, which is Linux Raid Auto. This means that you'll probably have to remake your disks :-(

fd Linux raid auto
