The cause is "num-devices", which is set by the "--examine --scan" or "--detail --scan".
i believe the num-devices is redundant since this value is already stored in the superblock we could change the way mdadm outputs data to put _all_ redundant information in subsequent lines and keep the only required info in the 'ARRAY' line, so mdadm --examine --scan | grep ARRAY would be suitable for initial configuration or even print it only if a --verbose flag is added so mdadm --examine --scan by itself would suit most need for the time being some akw magic can be used to parse 'mdadm --examine --scan' and make it suitable for inclusion in mdadm.conf Regards, L. -- Luca Berra -- bluca@xxxxxxxxxx Communication Media & Services S.r.l. /"\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN X AGAINST HTML MAIL / \ -- 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
