Of course you can usually figure out what the extra context > should be in the event program itself, but it may take more work. I would recommend the use of environment variables for this: md_event_context=<some_info> mdadm -F /dev/md0 -p md_event It is true that this cannot be specified in mdadm.conf, but I don't think you really need it at all in that context. The <some_info> can be explicit in the script rather than in mdadm.conf. Does that work for you?
