Hi, I'm trying to understand what goals dracut wants to reach regarding mdraids - what should the status of the mdraids be when dracut is finished?
Currently I see that when dracut includes an mdadm.conf, all these mds will stay active when dracut ends. When dracut does not use/include an mdadm.conf, the mds will be deactivated again at the end of dracut unless they are needed for the root filesystem. This logic is in modules.d/90mdraid/parse-md.sh, it is done by conditionally deleting the mdraid-cleanup.sh. What is the reason for deactivating the mds? Why is this handled differently when an mdadm.conf is present? I need an dracut image which is portable across a lot of machines so I can't include an mdadm.conf. But when the real system starts after dracut is done, all mds except the root one are gone and can't be mounted through fstab. I use filesystem labels in fstab, so the md numbers are irrelevant.
