With systemd, a different subset of the eight md devices succeed in mounting. E.g., in the last boot I tried, all but /dev/md3 succeeded. However, when I logged in to vt1 terminal and did /sbin/swapon -a, it did add /dev/md3 as the second swap partition. In a prior boot, three of the /dev/md devices failed to mount. The three devices included local filesystems, so init level 5 did not start, logged in to the vt1 terminal. There were errors on the screen that fsck couldn't run. So it seems to be a timing issue; it seems that for md devices with filesystems, sometimes fsck tries to run before the md device is ready; and for swap md devices, sometimes swapon runs before the md device is ready. This happened both with the original opensuse 12.1 systemd, and the 12.1 updated systemd I installed yesterday: htpc:/home/daniel # rpm -qi systemd Name : systemd Version : 37 Release : 3.6.1 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Fri 27 Jan 2012 05:30:26 PM EST I will attach the output of blkid and my /etc/fstab. I've switched back to sysv init for now.
