Hello, I red some stuff about assembling mode for mdadm. But two points are unclear for me. 1. Missing devices I have two HDDs in a RAID1 - only data, no OS, on them. I want to physical remove one HDD and plug it into a new server machine. Then I want to bring the RAID1 online again on the new machine but with one existing and one missing drive. Background: When finished I will plug in a new fresh HDD as the second one to the new server. 2. mdadm.conf On the web I read sometimes about modifying mdadm.conf on the new machine. But I do not understand why. If so. Why and what do I have to modify in the mdadm.conf? Kind Christian
