I just updated my current system which had last been updated about Aug. 7. Suddenly profile.sh fails to run because mdconfig is returning an error: mdconfig: ioctl(/dev/mdctl): Read-only file system It looks like it is not writable until after root is done. Why? Right now, profile.sh requires fsck and must be run before root. It seems that starting it after root and before mountcritlocal works, but there may be some subtleties that I am missing that makes this a bad idea. Is the inability to create an md device before root has run a problem or something expected? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
