I would start with # mdadm -Es which should show something vaguely like: ARRAY metadata=imsm auto=md UUID=8a73e835:3019890d:4f976c0c:eafd8c7e ARRAY /dev/md/r1 container=8a73e835:3019890d:4f976c0c:eafd8c7e member=0 UUID=bede01d9:b40a5dbc:ea37b919:68a0005c That confirms that there is an imsm array there. In my case there is one member array in the container - it is called 'r1'. Now you can assemble the container using: # mdadm -A /dev/md/imsm0 --uuid=8a73e835:3019890d:4f976c0c:eafd8c7e and then assemble all the arrays in the container using # mdadm -I /dev/md/imsm0 If you are happy with this, you can put the output of "-Es" in mdadm.conf and them # mdadm -As should assemble it all automatically. Please report any interesting experiences.
