RAID related problems

/dev/mapper RAID array not found

• The problem is in fact that the hotplug device does not show up in time and your system boot.
• In this example root is /dev/mapper/dd1f_ROOT
• dmraid -ay
• mkdir /mnt
• mount /dev/mapper/ddf1_ROOT1 /mnt
• chroot /mnt
• mount /proc
• Fix:
  • Edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/dmraid and change end of file to look like this:

       # for dev in $(dmraid -r -c); do
       #       dmraid-activate $dev
       # done
       sleep 10
       dmraid -ay
       

• initramfs-tools -k all -u
