Filing this against initscripts seemed reasonable as LVM/multipath etc. are handled by netfs but not currently md - let me know if that's wrong & I'll move to iscsi-initiator-utils. Created attachment 329348 [details]
add md activation before lvm/device-mapper in netfs
add md activation before lvm/device-mapper in netfs, as is currently done in rc.sysinit
I'm not sure that we technically 'support' RAID over iscsi; AFAIK, we've told people to use DM in this situation. Wasn't it a user who wanted to use MD over DM that we told to go away? That seems reasonable since the ordering is all wrong for it (and doing it right involves nasty loops until you're sure you're at a leaf device). This is only a very minor change (and matches the current activation flow in rc.sysinit). Hm, anaconda will let you set it up that way, so we should make sure it works. Oh, for the glorious future where we can just do this all cleanly on-demand via udev. Moving to 5.4, since we're already doing initscripts there.
