1) mdadm -As --auto=yes --run 2>&1 | vinfo (removed)
Currently such auto assembly will not complete or force-run partially
assembled arrays. It might assemble "concurrent" separate array and
force-run it, if possible (though the chances of suddenly showing
missing components in this scenario - a script run after udev timeout -
are pretty thin). See [1] for details. Also see #3 below.
2) mdadm -Is --run 2>&1 (removed)
This will only force-run native arrays - arrays in containers will not
be affected. See [1] for details. Also see #3 below.
3) mdadm -R run loop (implicitly handles #1 & #2)
This loop does everywthing that #1 & #2 are expected to do. Thus, the
above invocations are simply redundant and this is the most safe and
flexible option.
Also, it shouldn't be necessary to go under md/ directory, as those are
just symlinks to /dev/md[0-9]*.
Certain checks were changed to strict ones (array state, degraded state)
instead of relying on env tricks.
'cat' was added explicitly to installed programs (it has been used
implicitly in shutdown script either way)
4) mdmon bug
See [1] for details as well. In short - force-run arrays in containers
will not have mdmon started, so we do that manually.
5) stop/run queue magic
Also removed. mdadm -R will only cause change events to the array
itself, and they should not be an issue.

Stop both arrays (first pass) and containers (second pass).
Loop only over /dev/md[0-9]*
Call cleanup script only once, make sure it's after crypt cleanup.

Intel BIOS raid is being shifted from dmraid to mdraid because mdraid offers
more features. So if an imsm metadata capable mdadm is present use mdraid
instead of dmraid for isw_raid_member's
This patch also adds code to mdraid_start.sh so that the raidsets
inside the imsm containers get started once udev is done probing
(doing this earlier leads to potentially degraded use of the sets and
an unwanted resync).
init now has the following points to inject scripts:
/cmdline/*.sh
scripts for command line parsing
/pre-udev/*.sh
scripts to run before udev is started
/pre-trigger/*.sh
scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled
/initqueue/*.sh
runs in parallel to the udev trigger
Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue.
If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script
will be removed after it was run.
If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can
process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger.
If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root
filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after
a timeout.
Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job".
/pre-mount/*.sh
scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted
NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created
and mounts in the udev events
/mount/*.sh
scripts to mount the root filesystem
NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created
and mounts in the udev events
If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root
filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after
a timeout.
/pre-pivot/*.sh
scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs
disappears
All processes started before should be killed here.
The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new
mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a
udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev
queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue.
