Would some please update Documentation/md.txt with the alternates
that exist to replace START_ARRAY ? Or for that matter any kernel
related document that covers the md driver &/or its tools .

Are you just asking "What are the 'Alternatives' that are claimed to
exist?"?
Yes , And to have them documented .
If so, then it is 'mdadm -A'. I guess I could make that more
explicit.
Hmm , Where is mdadm documented as linux-raid tool(set) IN the
kernel tree ? It's not in md.txt ..
# grep mdadm /usr/src/linux/Documentation/md.txt
#
Please help me(us) here .
Or are you asking something else?
No , You got it right . Tia , JimL
