While I can't speak to your comments about being unable to restart daemons with systemd (hope this isn't the case, obviously), dracut does in fact include a copy of some files in /etc like mdadm.conf. So, if you reconfigure your raid it might be beneficial to rebuild your initramfs. As you might expect that is optional - mdadm can more-or-less work without mdadm.conf, but in some cases you could have your raids change name and such. If you mount root by UUID that won't prevent you from booting, but it might mess up your own scripts if you refer to md devices by number. Rich
