Hi. I am looking to script auto-assembly of all arrays detected on an arbitrary set of drives using mdadm. The way I am thinking of doing this is as follows: mdadm.conf = DEVICE /dev/sd* ---- 1. Use "mdadm -E" on each drive in turn to get the UUID for the array to which it belongs and assemble a list of unique UUIDs. 2. Run "mdadm -A --uuid=<UUID> --auto=md --scan" for each unique UUID. My question is, is it currently possible for me to get mdadm to do this automatically? Ideally I would invoke mdadm once to discover all RAID arrays that exist on the devices listed in the mdadm.conf file and assemble them, automatically creating the require md devices. I know that I could use kernel RAID autodetect, but I hear that this is to be deprecated soon. Also, the RAID arrays I am using live on bare drives, not partitions (i.e. no partition to set to type 0xFD). Thanks, Sean __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
