Hi,

Over the years I've had various problems with the degree to which the
adding of spares on boot is automatic. There have been times when this
has just worked, and other times (such as now) where it only works very
occasionally (or not at all). Google is full of stories like this.

I have no clue why it's not working automatically, I just know that it
isn't.

So I wrote a little script that automates this, and hooked it up to
mdmon as an event handler.

It can probably do with an elegance upgrade, but it works for me.

HTH, Jan
