/*
 * File: ReadMe.c
 *
 * This file contains general comments about the implementation
 * and the various usage messages that can be displayed by mdadm
 *
 * mdadm is a single program that can be used to control Linux md devices.
 * It is intended to provide all the functionality of the mdtools and
 * raidtools but with a very different interface.
 * mdadm can perform all functions without a configuration file.
 * There is the option of using a configuration file, but not in the same
 * way that raidtools uses one
 * raidtools uses a configuration file to describe how to create a RAID
 * array, and also uses this file partially to start a previously
 * created RAID array.  Further, raidtools requires the configuration
 * file for such things as stopping a raid array which needs to know
 * nothing about the array.
 *
 * The configuration file that can be used by mdadm lists two
 * different things:
 * 1/ a mapping from uuid to md device to identify which arrays are
 *    expect and what names (numbers) they should be given
 * 2/ a list of devices that should be scanned for md sub-devices
 *
 *
 */

/*
 * mdadm has 7 major modes of operation:
 * 1/ Create
 *     This mode is used to create a new array with a superblock
 *     It can progress in several step create-add-add-run
 *     or it can all happen with one command
 * 2/ Assemble
 *     This mode is used to assemble the parts of a previously created
 *     array into an active array.  Components can be explicitly given
 *     or can be searched for.  mdadm (optionally) check that the components
 *     do form a bona-fide array, and can, on request, fiddle superblock
 *     version numbers so as to assemble a faulty array.
 * 3/ Build
 *     This is for building legacy arrays without superblocks
 * 4/ Manage
 *     This is for doing something to one or more devices
 *     in an array, such as add,remove,fail.
 *     run/stop/readonly/readwrite are also available
 * 5/ Misc
 *     This is for doing things to individual devices.
 *     They might be parts of an array so
 *       zero-superblock, examine  might be appropriate
 *     They might be md arrays so
 *       run,stop,rw,ro,detail  might be appropriate
 *     Also query will treat it as either
 * 6/ Monitor
 *     This mode never exits but just monitors arrays and reports changes.
 * 7/ Grow
 *     This mode allows for changing of key attributes of a raid array, such
 *     as size, number of devices, and possibly even layout.
 *     At the time if writing, there is only minimal support.
