Hello All! I've created a RAID-5 Array on my system, and it isn't detected at startup. Reading the software RAID HOWTO I see that I have to specify a partion type to get auto detection to work. However, I never made partitions on the disk, I just used mdadm to allocate the whole disc (hde,hde,etc.) for the RAID array. Hence, there is no partition table on the disk, and I can't change the partition type. I thought about removing one disk from the array, creating a single partion, setting it to be the correct type, then hot adding it to the array, allow the array to sync, stop the array and the repeat the process for the other 3 disks, which would give me partiton types on all 4 Will this work with out blowing away my data? Is there a better way to do it? I realize that mdadm --assemble --scan will build the array, but I'd like it to be detected at boot, without mucking around with init scripts.
