There is something that I forgot to mention in the list.
I have a SATA Seagate HD which use for backups. To decrease debug load I disconnected this drive. When this HD is not attached, the arrays are created correctly at boot. I would say there's some problem with that hard drive, but I've just run a smartctl long test on it last Saturday and it passed, no errors were reported. openSUSE 13.1 and 13.2 systems assemble the arrays correctly even when the Seagate drive is attached.
Perhaps a duplicate UUID or label.
I doubt it. The Seagate 1 TB HD is independent from the system disks which contain the raid arrays. I experimented a little bit. Replaced the 1 TB Seagate with a 320 GB Western Digital WD3200AVVS drive. In this case the arrays were assembled correctly at boot. The I replaced the WD drive with another 1 TB Seagate (ST1000DM003, same model but different device). With this other Seagate the arrays are not assembled. So it seems that problem it triggered by some device specific property. smartctl -i for the Seagate drives gives: === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 (AF) Device Model: ST1000DM003-1CH162 Serial Number: xxxxxxxx LU WWN Device Id: 5 000c50 06c9a272d Firmware Version: CC47 User Capacity: 1,000,204,886,016 bytes [1.00 TB] Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical Rotation Rate: 7200 rpm Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: ACS-2, ACS-3 T13/2161-D revision 3b SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 3.0 Gb/s) Local Time is: Thu Jan 12 21:05:45 2017 CET ==> WARNING: A firmware update for this drive is available, see the following Seagate web pages: http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/207931en http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/223651en SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability. SMART support is: Enabled Should I try to update the drive's firmware? I never updated a HD's firmware so far. The question, why oS 13.x systems has no problem with the arrays in the same configuration, still remains.
