I suspect that mdadm is warning you that it can't find any arrays in |
| 25 |
mdadm.conf and then proceeds to automatically scan and mount RAIDs. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If you want to add something in it, then you can use the output of: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
mdadm --examine --scan |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
and append the relevant line to your mdadm.conf. |
