It implies that there is an 'office' which the 'official' holds. I wonder what this 'office' is.... However to be useful instead of philosophical: - the source code is the definitive documentation. However few people can read it very well. - the man pages in the mdadm package are the formal documentation that I am most likely to update in anything close to a timely manner. In particular man 4 md is worth a read. - An archive of this mailing line (linux-raid) is likely to be the best informal source of documentation. It contains lots of valuable information, but of course is not structured very well. - https://linux-raid.wiki.kernel.org/ is a community-maintained wiki which should be reasonably reliable. (that is the same location as the link that you found above). - the doco in the kernel (Documentation/md.txt) is hardly ever updated and so is probably badly out of date. Sorry. - As has been mentioned, http://neil.brown.name/blog/mdadm and http://neil.brown.name/blog/SoftRaid sometimes contain useful information but I don't write as often as I would like to. - This is a Book: Managing RAID on Linux http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781565927308/index.html?CMP=IL7015 however it is now about 8 years old, so it will be missing a lot of new stuff.
