Wow, looks like mdadm is a lifesaver.  After reading the man page, it
looks like I should run

    mdadm --assemble --scan /dev/md0 --auto=yes

Will this find all seven of the component partitions that make up the
md0 RAID5?  Or do I have to list those partitions in the config file?

From the man page: "The identity can be given with the --uuid option,
  with the --super- minor option, can be found in the config file, or
  will be taken from the super block on the first component-device
  listed on the command line."

What is an "identity" or a "uuid"?  Does that mean "/dev/md0"?

Thanks,
Dave
