It always takes me 10-20 minutes to figure out the right mdadm incantation to start the md devices. It does not help that mdadm wants an /etc/mdadm.conf which is on an md device itself, unaccessible. I wish there were a simple command to find and start all md devices, something along the lines of: mdadm --please-find-and-start-all-my-md-devices-please-please-please or mdadm --start-all, or whatever. -- Konstantin Olchanski Data Acquisition Systems: The Bytes Must Flow!
