Hello Neil , OK mia culpa . But I don't see what good the echo
below does for us then , as in ...
~# more ./mdadm.conf
/dev/hd* /dev/sd*
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=b285b144:ae0b561b:b5b55686:ed216a4c
Without the DEVICE in front of '/dev/hd* /dev/sd*' they are
meaningless . Right ? Tia , JimL
