This worked: # mdadm --assemble --auto=yes /dev/md2 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf /dev/sdg /dev/sdh /dev/sdi /dev/sdj mdadm: /dev/md2 has been started with 8 drives. However, I'm not sure why it didn't start automatically at boot. Do I need to put it in /etc/mdadm.conf for it to star automatically? I thought md start all arrays it found at a start up?
