Software raid with (MDADM) and LVM2: init.d boot scripts

Hi all,

I'm testing a relatively standard software RAID setup created by mdadm with LVM2 running atop. It seems to be working out fine with the exception of mdadm complaining about the on-disk metadata format during boot (I understand the issue from prior reading and it seems inconsequential).

My question specifically involves the provided startup scripts in /etc/init.d. I have the following on a fresh installation: mdadm, mdraid, lvm, lvm-monitoring, device-mapper, and dmeventd. Which among those are necessary/recommended for addition to the boot -- or other -- runlevel? Thus far I've added mdraid, lvm, and device-mapper to boot. Mdadm appears to belong in the default runlevel if it is to be added. Is dmeventd important as well? And lvm-monitoring?

Thanks.
