1 | * maybe "missing" instead of <bold>missing</> in doco DONE |
2 | * possibly wait for resync to start, or even finish while assembling.- NO | |

4 | * -Db should have a devices= entry if possible. - DONE | |
5 | * when assembling multipath arrays, ignore any error indicators. - DONE | |
6 | * rationalise --monitor usage: | |
7 | mdadm --monitor | |
8 | doesn't do as expected. DONE | |

10 | * --assemble could have a --update option. - DONE | |

15 | * mdadm /dev/md11, where md11 is raid0 can segfault, particularly when looking in the | |
16 | [UU_UUU] string ... which doesn't exist ! | |
17 | It should be more sensible. DONE | |

cd29a5c8 | 32 | |
56eb10c0 NB |
33 | * new "Query" mode to subsume --detail and --examine. |
34 | --query or -Q, takes a device and tells if it is an MD device, | |
e0d19036 NB |
35 | and also tells in a raid superblock is found. |
36 | DONE | |
56eb10c0 | 37 | |

cd29a5c8 | 41 | |
e0d19036 NB |
42 | * parse /proc/partitions and map major/minor into /dev/* names, |
43 | and use that for default DEVICE list ???? | |
44 | ||
45 | * --detail --scan to read /proc/mdstat, and then iterate over these, | |
cd29a5c8 NB |
46 | but assume --brief. --verbose can override |
47 | check each subdevice to see if it is in conf_get_devs. | |
48 | Warn if not. | |
e0d19036 | 49 | DONE, but don't warn yet... |

97 | Assemble doesn't add spares. - DONE | |
98 | Create to allow "missing" name for devices. | |
99 | Create to accept "--force" for do exactly what is requested | |
100 | - get Assemble to upgrade devices if force flag. | |
101 | ARRAY lines in config file to have super_minor=n | |
102 | ARRAY lines in config file to have device=pattern, and only accept | |
103 | those devices | |
104 | If UUID given, insist on that | |
105 | If not, but super_minor given, require all found with that minor | |
106 | to have same uuid | |
107 | If only device given, all valid supers on those devices must have | |
108 | same uuid | |
109 | allow /dev/mdX as first argument before any options | |
110 | Possible --dry-run option for create and assemble--force | |

112 | Assemble to check that all devices mentioned in superblock | |
113 | are present. | |
114 | ||
115 | New mode: --Monitor (or --Follow) | |
116 | Periodically check status of all arrays (listed in config file). | |
117 | Log every event and apparent cause - or differences | |
118 | Email and alert - or run a program - for important events | |
119 | Move spares around if necessary. | |
120 | ||
121 | An Array line can have a spare-group= field that indicates that | |
122 | the array shares spares with other arrays with the same | |
123 | spare-group name. | |
124 | If an array has a failed and no spares, then check all other | |
125 | arrays in the spare group. If one has no failures and a spare, | |
126 | then consider that spare. | |
127 | Choose the smallest considered spare that is large enough. | |
128 | If there is one, then hot-remove it from it's home, and | |
129 | hot-add it to the array in question. | |

132 | --alert-handler program | |
133 | ||
134 | Will also extract information from /proc/mdstat if present, | |
135 | and consider 20% marks in rebuild as events. | |
136 | ||
137 | Events are: | |
138 | drive fails - causes mail to be sent | |
139 | rebuild started | |
140 | spare activated | |
