I'm so happy about this...

mdadm really needs somewhere that persists from early boot. I tried /lib/init/rw first but that is Debian only and doesn't exist before '/' is mounted. I ended up sticking it in /dev/.mdadm but I really hated doing that. I don't believe in hidden directories any more than I believe in keeping secrets.

But /run/mdadm is the perfect answer.

Thanks.

We would have been glad to add /lib/init/rw support in the initramfs if we knew you needed it for mdadm, I guess.

But now we can all work on /run. It is better that way, indeed.
