[mythtv-users] RAID on Fedora Core 3?

[Max Waterman]

FYI, I managed to fix the problem. I don't know if this could be considered a 'real' fix or just a hack, but it seems to work well.

I editted /etc/rc.sysinit so that it calls MAKEDEV just before it calls mdadm :

     547 if [ -f /etc/mdadm.conf ]; then
     548 # added my Max Waterman
     549     /sbin/MAKEDEV md
     550     /sbin/mdadm -A -s
     551 fi

Hope someone finds this useful.

Max.
