[SOLVED]dmraid (fakeraid) issue:raid1 array only available after login

I was setting up a FakeRaid 1 array on my HP N54L (AMD RAID chip) following the FakeRAID wiki. My array is consisted of 2 identical HDDs. I use it to store data , neither boot nor root is mounted on RAID.  I modified fstab with the intention to mount it (/dev/mapper/<device name>) while the system boots up.

The problem is that while the system is booting it complains the RAID device cannot be found, I thought it was because the RAID array was not activated, but strangely after I login, I can see the device immediately and they can be mounted by specifying the mount point written in fstab without any problem.

I followed the troubleshooting in the wiki, diabled mdadm , but it didn't help. I already have modified mkinitcpio.conf to include dm_mod,dm_mirror in MODULES and  dmraid in HOOK, and rebuild the kernel.

Any suggestion will be appreciated, thank you in advance.

UPDATE

Solved by specifying UUID in fstab
