   1 # mdadm configuration file
   2 #
   3 # mdadm will function properly without the use of a configuration file,
   4 # but this file is useful for keeping track of arrays and member disks.
   5 # In general, a mdadm.conf file is created, and updated, after arrays
   6 # are created. This is the opposite behavior of /etc/raidtab which is
   7 # created prior to array construction.
   8 #
   9 #
  10 # the config file takes two types of lines:
  11 #
  12 #       DEVICE lines specify a list of devices of where to look for
  13 #         potential member disks
  14 #
  15 #       ARRAY lines specify information about how to identify arrays so
  16 #         so that they can be activated
  17 #
  18 # You can have more than one device line and use wild cards. The first
  19 # example includes SCSI the first partition of SCSI disks /dev/sdb,
  20 # /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, /dev/sdj, /dev/sdk, and /dev/sdl. The second
  21 # line looks for array slices on IDE disks.
  22 #
  23 #DEVICE /dev/sd[bcdjkl]1
  24 #DEVICE /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1
  25 #
  26 # If you mount devfs on /dev, then a suitable way to list all devices is:
  27 #DEVICE /dev/discs/*/*
  28 #
  29 #
  30 #
  31 # ARRAY lines specify an array to assemble and a method of identification.
  32 # Arrays can currently be identified by using a UUID, superblock minor number,
  33 # or a listing of devices.
  34 #
  35 #       super-minor is usually the minor number of the metadevice
  36 #       UUID is the Universally Unique Identifier for the array
  37 # Each can be obtained using
  38 #
  39 #       mdadm -D <md>
  40 #
  41 #ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=3aaa0122:29827cfa:5331ad66:ca767371
  42 #ARRAY /dev/md1 super-minor=1
  43 #ARRAY /dev/md2 devices=/dev/hda1,/dev/hdb1
  44 #
  45 # ARRAY lines can also specify a "spare-group" for each array.  mdadm --monitor
  46 # will then move a spare between arrays in a spare-group if one array has a failed
  47 # drive but no spare
  48 #ARRAY /dev/md4 uuid=b23f3c6d:aec43a9f:fd65db85:369432df spare-group=group1
  49 #ARRAY /dev/md5 uuid=19464854:03f71b1b:e0df2edd:246cc977 spare-group=group1
  50 #
  51 # When used in --follow (aka --monitor) mode, mdadm needs a
  52 # mail address and/or a program.  This can be given with "mailaddr"
  53 # and "program" lines to that monitoring can be started using
  54 #    mdadm --follow --scan & echo $! > /var/run/mdadm
  55 # If the lines are not found, mdadm will exit quietly
  56 #MAILADDR root@mydomain.tld
  57 #PROGRAM /usr/sbin/handle-mdadm-events
