I'm using a mdadm.conf with name and "--auto=md", that is "name=/dev/mv/vol0" and so on. On hot plug something happens and some devices are created. Then "mdadm --stop /dev/md/vol*" stops the RAIDs, then up-plug. The /md/dev/vol* are still there, other devices are gone. > Removing the /dev/md/ device files does nothing of value.

I'll try again, I'll let you know. bye, -- piergiorgio -- 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
