Both are impossible, and '1' allows size to be unsigned,
which is neater.
Also #define MAX_SIZE to be '1' to make it all more explicit.

The value of 'verbose' is sometimes mixed into 'brief', particularly
for Examine.
This is messy and confusing. So keep them separate.
'brief' still gets assumed when 'scan' is set, unless we are very
verbose.

If we change some functions to accept 'verbose', where <0 means to be
quiet, in place of 'quiet', then we will be able to merge
'quiet' and 'verbose' together for simplicity.

Rather than passing a long list of little flags etc to various
functions we will soon pass a small collection of structures.
This first step combines a collection of variables local to
'main' into a single structure.

malloc should never fail, and if it does it is unlikely
that anything else useful can be done. Best approach is to
abort and let some super-daemon restart.
So define xmalloc, xcalloc, xrealloc, xstrdup which don't
fail but just print a message and exit. Then use those
removing all the tests for failure.
Also replace all "malloc;memset" sequences with 'xcalloc'.

Both --detail and --monitor can report the names of member
devices on an array, and do so by searching /dev and finding
the shortest name that matches.
If
--prefer=foo
is given, they will instead prefer a name that contain /foo/.
So
mdadm --detail /dev/md0 --prefer=by-path
will list the component devices via their /dev/disk/by-path/xxx
names.

When --offroot is specified, mdadm will change the first character of

Providing --no-sharing is given, monitoring should be permitted.
Unfortunately the kernel current rejects GET_DISK_INFO and
GET_ARRAY_INFO for non-privileged users which is unjustified.
The info is available in sysfs and we could get it from there,
but for now, require the kernel to be fixed.

mdadm allowes to assemble 2 volumes with the same names based on the
config file. The issue is fixed by iterating over the list of md device
identifiers and comparing the names of md devices against each other,
detecting identical names and blocking the assembly should the same names
be found.
Now having detected duplicate names, mdadm terminates without assembling
the container, displaying appropriate prompt.

Extracting the 'subarray' arg for these options was being done at the
wrong place which lead to the code being a bit confusing and looking
wrong.
So reformat that code a bit better and move the extraction of
'subarray' down to the main parsing of these options rather than the
mode setting.

To allow for reshape continuation '--continue' option is added
to grow command.
Function that will be executed in grow-continue case doesn't require

During initrd phase continuing reshape will cause file system context
lost. This blocks ability to control reshape using checkpoints.
To avoid this, during initrd phase assemble has to be executed with
'--freeze-reshape' option. This causes that mdadm restores reshape

Reshape can be continued later after system full boot.

Moving spares is not the purpose of '--oneshot' and without

Neil,
Please consider this patch that once was discussed and I think agreed with in general direction. It was sent a while ago
but somehow did not merged into your devel3-2. This patch enables hot-plug of so called bare devices (as understand by domain policies rules in mdadm.conf).
Without this patch we do NOT serve hot-plug of bare devices at all.
Thanks,
Marcin Labun

Subject: [PATCH] Dynamic hot-plug udev rules for policies
Cc: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org, Williams, Dan J <dan.j.williams@intel.com>, Ciechanowski, Ed <ed.ciechanowski@intel.com>
When introducing policies, new hot-plug rules were added to support
bare disks. Mdadm was started for each hot plugged block device
to determine if it could be used as spare or as a replacement member for
degraded array.
This patch introduces limitation of range of devices that are handled
by mdadm.
It limits them to the ones specified in domains associated with
the actions: spare-same-port, spare and spare-force.
In order to enable hot-plug for bare disks one must update udev rules
with command
mdadm --activate-domains[=filename]
Above command writes udev rule configuration to stdout. If 'filename'
is given output is written to the file provided as parameter. It is up
to system administrator what should be done later. To make such rule
permanent (i.e. remain after reboot) rule should be writen to
/lib/udev/rules.d directory. Other cases will just need to write it to
/dev/.udev/rules.d directory where temporary rules lies. One should be
aware of the meaning of names/priorities of the udev rules.
After mdadm.conf is changed one is obliged to re-run
"mdadm --activate-domains" command in order to bring the system
configuration up to date.
All hot-plugged disks containing metadata are still handled by existing
rules.

This is useful with 1.1 and 1.2 metadata to update the metadata if
the device size has changed.
The same functionality can be achieved by writing to the device size
in sysfs after re-adding normally, but in some cases this might be
easier.

Growing an array when there aren't enough spares can make the array
degraded. This works but might not be what is wanted.
So warn the user in this case and require a --force to go ahead
with the reshape.

Though not having the proper backup file can cause data corruption, it
is not enough to justify not being able to start the array at all.
So allow "--invalid-backup" to be specified which says "just continue
even if a backup cannot be restored".
