I don't see that in the config. Should I add it? Then reboot?

I used apt-get install mdadm to first install it, which gave me 2.5.x then I
downloaded the new source and typed make then make install. Now mdadm -V
shows "mdadm - v2.6.2 - 21st May 2007".
Is there anyway to check it is installed correctly?
