Re: [aur-general] mkinitcpio/mdadm/mdadm_udev fail to start raid10

I do not think this is an upstream problem since my LFS and Gentoo boxes do load the correct (raid10) kernel module without any specific configuration to do so. Has anyone else replicated this behavior? Suggestions: - Preferred: Make the initcpio hook/mdadm udev rules/whatever loads raid1.ko normally also detect raid10 (and raid5, raid6, ...) arrays properly. - Alternatively: Add a section to the SW RAID wiki page describing how to make the module load persist on boot (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Software_RAID_and_LVM#Load_kernel_modules) Ido Did you mean to send this to arch-general instead?
