MDADM can't automount existing RAID1 array
I recently reformatted my system and cannot get my RAID 1 array to load on boot. Would appreciate some help figuring out why this is. Using ubuntu 14 with MDADM. Its a very simple RAID1 array consisting of 2 drives sda and sdb. I tried to edit fstab to mount the RAID but it fails at boot and asks me to press a key to skip mounting.
Here's my MDADM.conf file
# mdadm.conf
#
# Please refer to mdadm.conf(5) for information about this file.
#
# by default (built-in), scan all partitions (/proc/partitions) and all

I've made sure initramfs is updated when making changes to mdadm.conf. And once I run the --assemble --scan command, it does mount the arrays. If I then do cat /proc/mdstat I get:
md127 : inactive sdb[1](S) sda[0](S)
5032 blocks super external:imsm
md126 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sda[1] sdb[0]

But if I try to do mdadm --detail --scan to add to the mdadm.conf file I get this:
ARRAY /dev/md/imsm0 metadata=imsm UUID=4e85cd11:34b3cd40:f263b2be:616ef7fb
mdadm: cannot open /dev/md/Storage(RAID)_0: No such file or directory
I need this array to mount at boot but have no idea what is stopping that from happening.

I've made sure initramfs is updated when making changes to mdadm.conf. And once I run the --assemble --scan command, it does mount the arrays. If I then do cat /proc/mdstat I get:
md127 : inactive sdb[1](S) sda[0](S)
5032 blocks super external:imsm
md126 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sda[1] sdb[0]
5860519936 blocks super external:/md127/0 [2/2] [UU]
But if I try to do mdadm --detail --scan to add to the mdadm.conf file I get this:
ARRAY /dev/md/imsm0 metadata=imsm UUID=4e85cd11:34b3cd40:f263b2be:616ef7fb
mdadm: cannot open /dev/md/Storage(RAID)_0: No such file or directory
I need this array to mount at boot but have no idea what is stopping that from happening.

I recently reformatted my system and cannot get my RAID 1 array to load on boot. Would appreciate some help figuring out why this is. Using ubuntu 14 with MDADM. Its a very simple RAID1 array consisting of 2 drives sda and sdb. I tried to edit fstab to mount the RAID but it fails at boot and asks me to press a key to skip mounting.
Here's my MDADM.conf file
# mdadm.conf
#
# Please refer to mdadm.conf(5) for information about this file.
#
# by default (built-in), scan all partitions (/proc/partitions) and all
# containers for MD superblocks. alternatively, specify devices to scan, using
# wildcards if desired.
#DEVICE partitions containers
# auto-create devices with Debian standard permissions
CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0660 auto=yes
# automatically tag new arrays as belonging to the local system
HOMEHOST <system>
# instruct the monitoring daemon where to send mail alerts
MAILADDR root
# definitions of existing MD arrays
ARRAY metadata=imsm UUID=4e85cd11:34b3cd40:f263b2be:616ef7fb
