This shutdown procedure works fine with the preceeding linuxrc
To capture the raid array shutdown status, just before the file systems are dismounted insert:
RAIDSTATUS=`/bin/cat /proc/mdstat | /usr/bin/grep md0`
After all the file systems are dismounted (the root file system
'will not' dismount) add:
# root device remains mounted RO
# mount dos file systems RW
mount -n -o remount,ro /
echo "Writing RAID read-only boot FLAG(s)."
mount -n /dosa
mount -n /dosc
# create raid mounted RO flag in duplicate
# containing the shutdown status of the raid array
echo ${RAIDSTATUS} > /dosa/raidboot/raidstat.ro
echo ${RAIDSTATUS} > /dosc/raidboot/raidstat.ro
umount -n /dosa
umount -n /dosc
# Stop all the raid arrays (except root)
echo "Stopping raid"
mdstop -a
This will cleanly stop all raid devices except root. Root status
is passed to the next boot in raidstat.ro.
The complete shutdown script from my old raid1 Slackware system follows, I have switched raid1 to the new procedure with the /etc/raidboot.conf file.
