The relevant rule file is shipped with mdadm and has been for a long time (2008). The rule file gained support for IMSM arrays in mdadm version 3.2, so it might be best to use a relatively up-to-date mdadm. Can we assume that people are not holding back mdadm and upgrading initscripts?
* We no longer copy rule files from /dev/.udev on boot, as this is dealt with by udev
Handling of persistent net/cd links has been in udev for a long time (the exact udev version escapes me at the moment). However, as a general rule I would be in favor of forcing an up-to-date udev. (In this particular case the problem was the opposite: the newest udev broke our persistent rule handling). The only package I have assumed might be anything but the most recent is the kernel. Would anyone object to making this the official policy for initscript, as I don't think we have the manpower to support other combination of packages? If no one objects, I'll put a note about this in the release notes. Cheers, Tom
