Bug#621786: One Thought/Thing to Try

[Arnaud Desmier]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your answer, I've changed /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf as you 
requested and "/sbin/mdadm --assemble --scan --auto=yes --symlink=no" 
didn't crashed but exit with code 2, I don't know what it means.

Reboot is now going fine and each array is correctly mounted.

Arnaud
