How do I prevent mdadm from assembling any array at all without uninstalling the package? I commented out all lines, still it seems it scanned and assembled what it found. (Possibly a debian thing, will look into this) Next thing: I don't want mdadm to assemble arrays if not all disks are present. Can I pass no-degraded to mdadm.conf? Is there a dry-run-option that says what would happen if I assembled now? Dex -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a- C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?
