Does this really work with mdadm 2.6.7.1?
Because I have this from "--examine --scan"
ARRAY /dev/md/boot level=raid1 metadata=1.0 num-devices=2
UUID=edb4254d:4274fac1:dd6cad61:a8e3c347 name=boot
Um, this is slightly odd, but when I use --examine --scan on my array, it
returns nothing. If I run it on an element of the array I get:
--examine should be run on component device
ie. mdadm --examine /dev/sda
using --scan will make it examine all devices matching the DEVICE line
in mdadm.conf (or all device if mdadm.conf does not exist)
--detail should be run on an array
ie. mdadm --detail /dev/md0
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid6 num-devices=10
UUID=5a53eeb8:4d87963b:4cb502e9:37bde716
'Nothing about the metadata or the array name.
this is because you are using 0.90 metadata and did never set a name on
the device...
