So yes, it is by design.  Assembling arrays with mdadm gives you a
lot more control than the kernel-autodetect so as you have an
initramfs, it is a good idea to make use of it.

If you *really* want to use the autodetect functionality, you can look
around for a program called 'raidautorun'.  It does triggers the
autodetect function from userspace.


Thank you , raidautorun did the trick. I am trying to build an initramfs as much generic as possible to be used with hundreds of systems, so doing a custom image for every possible raid combination is really not an options compared to autodetection.

	Thnx again,
