From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Herta Van den Eynde Subject: mdadm.conf questions Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 12:13:50 +0200 Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <3EC3685E.3010202@cc.kuleuven.ac.be> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-raid.ids When I run "mdadm --detail --scan", the command outputs information about the devices in the array on a separate line: # mdadm --detail --scan ARRAY /dev/md3 level=raid0 num-devices=3 UUID=fc5d996b:15107473:e3e819c9:6829a450 devices=/dev/md0,/dev/md1,/dev/md2 ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=32d034b8:e93cc8c7:f6335e14:829aefee devices=/dev/sde,/dev/sdh ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=4efa3017:9dc3fa9b:6f4acac4:e1944bec devices=/dev/sdd,/dev/sdg ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=1d078c62:2b90a2c3:1ec1d0af:75600395 devices=/dev/sdc,/dev/sdf 1. When I redirect this output to '/etc/mdadm.conf, should I then edit the file to join the line listing the devices to the one defining the ARRAY? 2. Should the devices tag be there at all? sd[c-e] are on a separate bus from sd[f-h]. If I add more devices to the first bus, sd[f-h] will be renamed. Won't that confuse the md driver? 3. should I add /dev/md[0-2] as DEVICE in /etc/mdstat.conf? Kind regards, Herta
