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. |

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. |
