That last statement looks suspicious.
I thought so too - I googled a bit, and found one or two references that says it's ok:
http://osdir.com/ml/linux-raid/2009-11/msg00344.html
However, your md0 array is clearly being found and started - but is this when you start it manually or was it at boot-up?
When I sent that, I thought it was. But I did a reboot just to be sure, and I see it must have come from a later command I ran by hand. I checked that mdadmd rc script will run. After boot is says it is unused. If I run 'rcmdadmd start' it then reports that it is running. But I still cannot mount anything. The /etc/sysconfig/mdadm on my old and new system is the same with one exception: the old (working) one had this: BOOT_MD_USE_MDADM_CONFIG=yes I added this, and it made no difference. /proc/mdstat remains empty. But the rc script (when run by hand) seems to start this: /sbin/mdadm -F -d 60 -m root@localhost -s -c /etc/mdadm.conf It refers to the /etc/mdadm.conf made earlier in this thread. But it makes no difference. I cannot boot without the "mdadm --auto-detect" command.
