Well yes, I had previously tried the lines that were commented out, |
| 2 |
including the DEVICE statement as listed. And I had followed one of the |
| 3 |
conventions given in mdadm.conf(5) -- using the "*" to wildcard the |
| 4 |
devices. I had seen other examples on the net where an SA had used |
| 5 |
multiple DEVICE statement to separate out the devices with their |
| 6 |
respective ARRAYs, but there's no mention of that being needed in the |
| 7 |
man pages of mdadm/mdadm.conf that I could find. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
And I may be a little dense here, but I still don't see an "mdadm |
| 10 |
--assemble" in the startup anywhere, so I'm a little confused as to how |
| 11 |
this is supposed to happen. Rough being a raidtools kinda guy for all |
| 12 |
those years... ;) |

Thanks! |

add a DEVICE line ... |
| 44 |
mdadm will only use disks that are listed there, e.g. |
| 45 |
DEVICE /dev/sd[abcd]1 |
