Why --nochroot? You only work outside /mnt/sysimage for one line.

Suggest you split the %post into two; one --nochroot, the second
chrooted.

%post --nochroot
>cat /proc/mdstat >> /mnt/sysimage/root/ks-install.txt

%post

Or activate the "mdmonitor" script in /etc/init.d

It's working on your nochroot /etc files

Again, no need for this to run nochrooted.


Hope this helps,
