+# You can have more than one device line and use wild cards. The first

+# /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, /dev/sdj, /dev/sdk, and /dev/sdl. The second

+# The AUTO line can control which arrays get assembled by auto-assembly,
+# meaing either "mdadm -As" when there are no 'ARRAY' lines in this file,
+# or "mdadm --incremental" when the array found is not listed in this file.
+# By default, all arrays that are found are assembled.
+# If you want to ignore all DDF arrays (maybe they are managed by dmraid),
+# and only assemble 1.x arrays if which are marked for 'this' homehost,
+# but assemble all others, then use
+#AUTO -ddf homehost -1.x +all
#
# ARRAY lines specify an array to assemble and a method of identification.
# Arrays can currently be identified by using a UUID, superblock minor number,
# or a listing of devices.

-# super-minor is usally the minor number of the metadevice
+# super-minor is usually the minor number of the metadevice
# UUID is the Universally Unique Identifier for the array

# ARRAY lines can also specify a "spare-group" for each array. mdadm --monitor

# When used in --follow (aka --monitor) mode, mdadm needs a
