Hi! I have an software raid installation (md_dX type) and i am wondering what is the procedure for kernel update... is the initrd auto-magicaly rebuild?
Thank you, Adrian
Yep, as long as you are using the stock kernels, you should be safe. I use linux raid a lot and haven't had a problem. Just yum update and you're ready to go (if you upgrade from/to minor version be sure to read the release notes and erratas).
Thanks! Yes i am using the stock kernels and i asked because i use an modified mkinitrd (for raid md_dX type suport) and wanted to be sure that initrd is rebuilt at kernel update time.
Thanks, Adrian
