60 * The task of Assemble is to find a collection of
61 * devices that should (according to their superblocks)
62 * form an array, and to give this collection to the MD driver.
63 * In Linux-2.4 and later, this involves submitting a
64 * SET_ARRAY_INFO ioctl with no arg - to prepare
65 * the array - and then submit a number of
66 * ADD_NEW_DISK ioctls to add disks into
67 * the array. Finally RUN_ARRAY might
68 * be submitted to start the array.
70 * Much of the work of Assemble is in finding and/or
71 * checking the disks to make sure they look right.
73 * If mddev is not set, then scan must be set and we
74 * read through the config file for dev+uuid mapping
75 * We recurse, setting mddev, for each device that
77 * - has a valid uuid (or any uuid if !uuidset)
79 * If mddev is set, we try to determine state of md.
80 * check version - must be at least 0.90.0
81 * check kernel version. must be at least 2.4.
82 * If not, we can possibly fall back on START_ARRAY
83 * Try to GET_ARRAY_INFO.
84 * If possible, give up
85 * If not, try to STOP_ARRAY just to make sure
87 * If !uuidset and scan, look in conf-file for uuid
88 * If not found, give up
89 * If !devlist and scan and uuidset, get list of devs from conf-file
92 * Check superblock - discard if bad
93 * Check uuid (set if we don't have one) - discard if no match
94 * Check superblock similarity if we have a superblock - discard if different
95 * Record events, devicenum
96 * This should give us a list of devices for the array
97 * We should collect the most recent event number
99 * Count disks with recent enough event count
100 * While force && !enough disks
101 * Choose newest rejected disks, update event count
102 * mark clean and rewrite superblock
105 * foreach device with recent events : ADD_NEW_DISK
106 * if runstop == 1 || "enough" disks and runstop==0 -> RUN_ARRAY
108 * Check the device numbers in superblock are right
109 * update superblock if any changes
