Summary 0003566: mkinitrd does not recognize partitionable md raid
Description Description of problem:
mkinitrd doesn't support partitionable raid arrays (/dev/md/dXXpYY). If the
root device is on such partition, it isn't recognized as RAID at all.

How reproducible:
Simply - create a partitionable raid array and set it as the / device.

Expected results:
The partition should be recognized as a RAID array, the /dev/md/dXX array
should be assembled&started on boot
Additional Information Please check this fedora bugreport: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471979 [^] it has a preliminary patch for the problem.
Tags No tags attached.

I've uploaded a slightly modified patch for the CentOS version of mkinitrd.

As CentOS strives to be "bug-for-bug" compatible with upstream, this will not make it into CentOS proper unless it comes from upstream. Would not hurt to add to the upstream report, or better yet find or file one against RHEL5, with a reference to this bug report in the External Bug field. Guess there is a possibility of having it in centosplus if there is enough demand and a maintainer.
