-.SH DESCRIPTION
-dmraid discovers block and software RAID devices (eg, ATARAID)
-by using multiple different metadata format handlers which
-support various formats (eg, Highpoint 37x series).
-It offers activating RAID sets made up by 2 or more
-discovered RAID devices, display properties of devices and sets (see option
-.B -l
-for supported metadata formats).
-Block device access to activated RAID sets occurs via device-mapper nodes
-/dev/mapper/RaidSetName.
-RaidSetName starts with the format name (see
-.B -l
-option) which can be used to access all RAID sets of a specific format
-easily with certain options (eg,
-.B -a
-below).
-
-.SS OPTIONS
-.TP
-.I \-a, \-\-activate {y|n} [RAID set...]
-Activates or deactivates all or particular software RAID set.
-In case metadata format handlers are chosen with
-.B -f
-, only RAID sets with such format(s) can be activated or deactivated.
-Useful if devices have multiple metadata signatures.
-When activating RAID sets,
-.B -p
-disables the activation of partitions on them, and
-.B -Z
-will make dmraid tell the kernel to remove the partitions from the disks
-underlying the set, ie if sda is part of the set, remove sda1, sda2, etc.
-This prevents applications from directly accessiong the disks bypassing dmraid.
-RAID set names given on command line don't need to be fully specified
-(eg, "dmraid \-ay sil" would activate all discovered Silicon Image Medley
-RAID sets).
-
-.TP
-.I {-b|--block_devices} [device-path...]
-List all or particular discovered block devices with their
-properties (size, serial number).
-Add
-.B -c
-to display block device names only and
-.B -cc
-for CSV column output of block device properties.
-See description of
-.B -c
-below for FIELD identifiers.
-
-.TP
-.I [\-d|--debug]...
-Enable debugging output. Opion can be given multiple times
-increasing the debug output level.
-
-.TP
-.I [-c|--display_columns][FIELD[,FIELD...]]...
-Display properties of block devices, RAID sets and devices in column(s).
-Optional list specifying which FIELDs to display.

-.br
-.TP
-.I [-f|--format FORMAT[,FORMAT...]]
-Use metadata format handler(s) to discover RAID devices.
-See
-.B -l
-for a list of supported format handler names. This is useful to
-select particular formats in case multiple metadata signatures are found
-on a device. A comma seperated list of format names can be specified which 
-may not contain white space.

-Don't take out any locks. Useful in early boot where no read/write
-access to /var is available.
-
-.TP
-.I {-l|--list_formats}
-List all available metadata format handlers with their names and
-descriptions. Supported RAID levels are listed in parenthesis:
-.br
-

-.br

-.br

-.I {-n|--native_log} [device-path...]
-Display metadata in native, vendor-specific format.
-In case a metadata format handler is chosen with
-.B -f
-only RAID devices with such format will be displayed in native format.
-If device-path(s) is/are given on the command line, native metadata output
-is restricted to those listed.
-.TP
-.I [{-P|--partchar} CHAR]
-Use CHAR as the separator between the device name and the partition number.
-.TP
-.I {-R| --rebuild} RAID-set [device-path]
-Rebuild raid array after a drive has failed and a new drive is added. 
-For Intel chipset based systems, there are two methods in which a new drive 
-is added to the system.
-
-1. Using OROM to identify a new drive
-    During system reboot, enter OROM and mark the new drive as the rebuild drive.  
-    After booting to the OS, use the dmraid command to rebuild.
-
-    Example: dmraid \-R raid_set 
-
-2. Using dmraid to identify a new drive
-    Boot to the OS and use the dmraid command with the new drive as
-the second parameter.
-
-    Example: dmraid \-R raid_set /dev/sdc
-
-3. Using hot spare drive
-    Mark a drive as hot spare using the "dmraid \-f isw \-S" command. Then use the dmraid command to start the rebuild.
