Hi List, i have multiple technicians computers where I need the md-modules f.e. for recoveries and such. But these computers are also used to just diagnose failing drives. Now I have the effect that upon plugging in drives that formerly were part of an array, the md_mod modules gets loaded and tries to auto-assemble arrays. This disturbs the diagnosis. I've tried raid=noautodetect as kernel commandline, and I grepped the source for the MODULE_PARM_DESC macro, which yielded no (useful) result. This "automagic" behaviour happens since 2.6.36. Is there any way to turn it off - i.e. that I need to explicitly issue mdadm commands to bind any drive to any array?
