Linux mdraid device names not kept after reboot
We all know that to have the array device names persist you have to do:
mdadm --detail --scan >>/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
However this is not enough, this has to be also updated in initram, so the easiest way to do it, is by running:
dpkg-reconfigure mdadm
This will automatically update the initram.
(I do not mention here, that after piping the array list to /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, it is very practical to manually check if everything is correct, to avoid duplicate arrays or old not-any-more existing arrays.)
