udev and mdX where X > 0
This has been discussed previously on the list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8778276
But I'm not really clear on a solution here - how do I get udev to create /dev/md1 for my second raid array.
I found a page that mentioned adding (in debian) the following to /etc/udev/links.conf:
M md1 b 9 1
Which appears to work, but given the text at the top of the file:
# This file does not exist. Please do not ask the debian maintainer
about it.
# You may use it to do strange and wonderful things, at your risk.
This is probably not the "right" way to do it - not only is that file Debian-specific (best I can tell), it's, I'm guessing, interpreted by a script that writes out proper udev rules.
So what's the "right" way to tell udev "hey, I need md1, always" ?
Thanks,

Either use RAID devices autostart or fix the kernel driver.

What do you mean by "RAID devices autostart"? I'm using the in-kernel autodetection... it finds my RAID devices just fine... but without the aforementioned hack, it errors on /dev/md1 not existing.

Oh, I stand corrected - the raid-tools init scripts were doing it.
I started using auto-detection and the devices are created. Excellent.
Thanks.
