Package: dmraid
Version: 1.0.0.rc16-5

Dear maintainers,

some days ago, I booted an NFSROOT by PXE and used mdadm to create a raid
1 arary of two disks, with ddf metadata format. Then, I installed a base
system on the raid and rebooted, but the boot was not successful, because
device names had changed, so that filesystems could not be mounted. Now, I
discovered that this happened because both mdadm and dmraid are installed
in my base system and because, after the reboot, dmraid wanted to control
the ddf raid.

I solved this by changing /lib/udev/rules.d/85-dmraid.rules, so that it
evaluates the same kernel command line parameters as mdadm does to decide
if it will take control of ddf and/or imsm raids. For example, like
'nodmraid' in the kernel command line tells mdadm to not manage ddf raids,
the absence of that parameter tells dmraid to not manage ddf raids.

I have attached my current 85-dmraid.rules.

Regards
  Christoph
