Hello, Here is a patch to mkinitrd that enables dmraid initialization during init. I developed it to enable proper initialization of LVM partitions hosted on dmraid based software RAID. dmraid initrd initialization can be optionally turned off by passing --omit-dmraid command line key to mkinitrd. My changes are tested on CentOS 4.1 2.6.9-11.EL kernel. Hopefully this may be useful to people with similar software/hardware configurations. Can someone suggest/clarify if there is anything else I could/should do to make this patch helpful to as many people as possible and ideally make it part of CentOS distribution?
