If you are using hard disks which have RAID superblocks from earlier + installations in different RAID arrays, you MUST zero each superblock + *before* activating the autostart feature. + . + To do this, do not start the RAID devices automatically. First, zero the + superblock (mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/mdX). Next, use `dpkg-reconfigure + mdadm` to reactivate the autostart feature. + . + If you manage your RAIDs otherwise (e.g. EVMS), either disable autostart, or + ensure that /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf only lists those arrays you want to start + by mdadm. + +Template: mdadm/initrdstart +Type: string +Default: all +_Description: RAID arrays needed for the root filesystem: + If your system has its root filesystem on a RAID volume, it needs to be + started early during the boot sequence.
