Apparently it can, but I'm having issues with it: My conf file says: DEVICE /dev/scsi/host*/bus*/target*/lun*/part* ARRAY /dev/md3 level=raid5 num-devices=7 UUID=7f69d69c:2d523219:4f3d1ea7:9b7f4057 devices=/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target8/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target9/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target10/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target11/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target12/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target13/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target14/lun0/part1 gargamel:/etc/mdadm# mdadm -A -v /dev/md3 mdadm: No identity information available for /dev/md3 - cannot assemble. Any idea why mdadm -A -v /dev/md3 doesn't work? Am I supposed to actually start the device with mdadm -A -v /dev/md3 /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target*/lun0/part1 ? or mdadm -A -v -u 7f69d69c:2d523219:4f3d1ea7:9b7f4057 /dev/md3 ? (I thought mdadm would get that data from the config file) Thanks Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
