Thank you Dave for your suggestion. Before you wrote back, I went ahead and tried out: mdadm -Av -amd 1 --uuid=xxxxx /dev/sd* and that seemed to work. Is that okay. Unfortunately, "man mdadm" doesn't explain in much detail what the "yes" and "no" options do, unless I missed something. But the "md" option seems to make mdadm behave like it used to under devfs -- right? Only rather than specifing a device with the syntax "/dev/mdXX" you just use "XX" or "X". It's not complicated, but it would be good to just know I'm doing it right.
