Subject: auto-assembling arrays without a configuration file
Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 01:40:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080308004009.GA32251@rap.rap.dk> (raw)
I want to assemble the root partition automatically, without having
a configuration file. Is that possible?
mdadm -A --scan
does seem to require a configuration file.
On the other hand, I think all info needed is available in the super
blocks, and a traversal of the partitions present on the system (ala
fdisk -l) could give consistent naming - there seems to be no /dev/md
association available in the superblock.
best regrds
