Thanks for this mini-howto!

Maybe some further hints for debian users are useful:

  • If /dev/md0 etc. do not exist, just do a 
mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0
mknod /dev/md1 b 9 1
...
  • If you use udev, add to /etc/udev/links.conf 
M md0 b 9 0
M md1 b 9 0
...
  • If you want to be 'sure' to not copy inconsistent data, do (before the find|cpio thing) 
init 1
  • When booting into the degraded raid array, the device files in /dev might be missing; I just copied then with cp -pr . (Later the devfs will be in place.)
  • I used /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf .
