Hello, I hit a bug in mdadm. According to "--manage --help" this must work, but it doesn't: -bash-3.2# mdadm --manage -a /dev/md2 /dev/sda3 mdadm: /dev/sda3 does not appear to be an md device
I think that the "-a" is being parsed as "--auto" rather than "--add" in this case. I rarely use --manage, so I want to go look at the 2.6.3 code, this is just a speculation at this point, but it does fit the behavior. Don't know why the "/dev/md2" doesn't generate an error if it's being parsed as something else, though.
But this works fine: -bash-3.2# mdadm --manage --add /dev/md2 /dev/sda3 mdadm: re-added /dev/sda3 The version is: LFS:root@~:mdadm --version mdadm - v2.6.2 - 21st May 2007
