There seems to be 2 ways to update mdadm.conf. One puts a little more info in and both create duplicate info that msut be removed. Which is the better way: mdadm --examine --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf Also, is there a way to check if mdadm "damenised" at boot for sending email alerts? mdstat only list the arrays, not any kind of monitoring level. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
