When I do a google search on RAID, all the hits are about how to set up RAID, or about how RAID keeps track of data. That information is not helpful for this problem. What I need to know is, how does a running system determine and keep track of what exactly is being used as RAID? If someone can point me to that, then perhaps I can figure out why my 11.4 is incorrectly thinking that my RAIDed root directory is running actively on /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 while in reality it is actively running on the single partition /dev/sdb5. Then I can perhaps work with the settings to get it running correctly.
[Assuming MD RAID autodetect] I don't know how the autodetect mechanism works. But neither have I noticed you share either 12.1's or 11.4's /etc/mdadm.conf, or a comparison of the two. Maybe that's what you've missed? Maybe a boot using UUID for root= cmdline syntax would get you farther along? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
