Fourth paragraph of the "CREATE MODE" section:
To create a "degraded" array in which some devices are missing, simply
give the word missing in place of a device name. This will cause mdadm
to leave the corresponding slot in the array empty. For a RAID4 or
RAID5 array at most one slot can be missing. For a RAID1 array, only
one real device needs to be given. All of the others can be missing.
If that is not clear, please help me re-phrase it.
