Ok, but tell me where or how?
I mean there is already a logdev=/dev/sde2 option in /etc/fstab, but how can
kernel read /etc/fstab when it is unable to mount rootfs on /?
Booting from auxiallary disk and mounting the raid by hand with appropriate
mount option actually works, but that was not my point.

man mount was too obvious for me, so I omitted this in my list of read man
pages. Sorry, my fault.
man rdev shows that option ro is currently the only option that can be
passed to kernel for boot time.
So, it seems as if one can not use a raid5 on / with a external logdev. Is
this right?
