If you don't want /dev/hdc1 to be included, don't include it. If you say: # mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level raid1 --raid-disks 2 /dev/hda1 It will say: mdadm: You haven't given enough devices (real or missing) to create this array The word "missing" is meant to be a hint, but I don't think it is documented (I've just made a TODO note to fix that - thanks). The command: # mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level raid1 --raid-disks 2 /dev/hda1 missing will create your array with /dev/hda1 in the first slot, and no device in the second slot.
