Hi,

Just installing Fedora 16 on a new system. We set up a RAID1 with mdadm for /.

On boot, we're finding that if there is a RAID inconsistency, dracut
is waiting for mdadm reconstruction to complete before booting the
system. This means that after a power outage or other condition that
would cause a reconstruction to become necessary, we have to wait
several hours for the system to come online again.

My understanding is that this reconstruction is a background task, is
there really a need for this to hold up boot?

This behaviour comes from
0064-90mdraid-wait-for-md-devices-to-become-clean.patch in the
dracut-013-19.fc16 package.

Thanks
Daniel
