Howto prepare for a failing disk

6. /etc/mdadm.conf

Something here on /etc/mdadm.conf. What would be safe, allowing

Recommend PARTITIONS by used

Thanks Bill for your suggestions, which I have incorporated in the text.

However, I do not understand what to do with the remark above.
Please explain.

The mdadm.conf file should contain the "DEVICE partitions" statement to identify all possible partitions regardless of name changes. See "man mdadm.conf" for more discussion. This protects against udev doing something innovative in device naming.
