modify mdadm-raid script

[Mitchell Laks <mlaks@verizon.net>]

Along the same lines as above:

Should I simply modify the init script
/etc/init.d/mdadm-raid

script to  add in 
--run to the line which starts the raid??

ie. change the line

               $MDADM -A -s 
to
               $MDADM -A -s --run

so that even if the array is degraded it will start??


Mitchell

Please tell me if I am really doing something really dangerous and dumb
...

Thanks!
