The init script only does this: mdadm -As --auto=yes --run /dev/md0 Rather than, as I think it should: mdadm --assemble --scan Luckily my first raid device contains all the partitions I need to boot, the second is my home dir and data partitions, so I can get to single user mode and start everything by hand.
