There seems to be 2 ways to update mdadm.conf. One puts a little more info in and both create duplicate info that msut be removed.
Which is the better way:

mdadm --examine --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

Also, is there a way to check if mdadm "damenised" at boot for sending email alerts? mdstat only list the arrays, not any kind of
monitoring level.
