  Binary package hint: mdadm
  
  Hi,
  
  I could not boot from my /dev/md1 -> /dev/vg01/lv_root partition,
  because the initrd could not assemble the md0 and md1 devices. After
  reading mdadm.conf, I added these two lines to my config:
  
  # definitions of existing MD arrays
  ARRAY /dev/md0 devices=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1
  ARRAY /dev/md1 devices=/dev/sda5,/dev/sdb5
  
  and updated initramfs. After this, the system started normally. Before
  figuring out this, I used dpkg-reconfigure mdadm. So this seems to
  produce a non working config, which is copied to the initrd.
  
  Kind regards
  
  Christian
  
  -> However on hotplug systems mdadm.conf should not have to contain any
  references to specific DEVICEs, ARRAYs or HOMEHOST.
  
- -> We need to switch to a pure and secure UUID-based raid assembly,
- after the boot up scripts already support and use UUIDs. (see comment
- #42)
