|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
mdassemble \- assemble MD devices
|
|
.I aka
|
|
Linux Software RAID
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.BI mdassemble
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B mdassemble
|
|
is a tiny program that can be used to assemble MD devices inside an
|
|
initial ramdisk (initrd) or initramfs; it is meant to replace the in-kernel
|
|
automatic raid detection and activation.
|
|
It can be built statically and linked against lightweight libc alternatives, like
|
|
.B dietlibc,
|
|
.B klibc
|
|
or
|
|
.B uClibc.
|
|
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
|
Invoking
|
|
.B mdassemble
|
|
has the same effect as invoking
|
|
.B mdadm \-\-assemble \-\-scan.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Invoking
|
|
.B mdassemble
|
|
a second time will make all defined arrays readwrite, this is useful if
|
|
using the
|
|
.B start_ro
|
|
module parameter.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
There are no options to
|
|
.B mdassemble.
|
|
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
|
|
.SS /etc/mdadm.conf
|
|
|
|
The config file lists which devices may be scanned to see if
|
|
they contain MD super block, and gives identifying information
|
|
(e.g. UUID) about known MD arrays. See
|
|
.BR mdadm.conf (5)
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
.B mdassemble
|
|
supports all configuration parameters defined in
|
|
.B mdadm.conf
|
|
with the exception of
|
|
.B auto=
|
|
which is supported only if mdadm was built with the
|
|
.B \-DMDASSEMBLE_AUTO
|
|
define.
