  13        m\bmd\bda\bad\bdm\bm is a tools for creating  an  managing  RAID  devices
  14        using the m\bmd\bd driver in Linux.
  15
  16        Some  common  tasks, such as assembling all arrays, can be
  17        simplified by describing the devices  and  array  in  this
  18        configuations file.

  22        The file should be seen as a collection of words separated
  23        by white space (space, tab, or newline).   Any  word  that
  24        being  with a hash sign (#) starts a comment and that word
  25        together with the remainder of the line are ignored.
  26
  27        Any line that start with white space  (space  or  tab)  is
  28        treated  as  though it were a continuation of the previous
  29        line.
  30
  31        Empty lines are ignored, but otherwise each (non continua-
  32        tion) line must start with a keyword as listed below.  The
  33        key words are case insensitve and can be abbreviated to  3
  34        characters.

  36        The keywords are:

  38        D\bDE\bEV\bVI\bIC\bCE\bE A  d\bde\bev\bvi\bic\bce\be  line lists the devices (whole devices or
  39               partitions) that might contain a component of an MD
  40               array.   When  looking  for  the  components  of an
  41               array, m\bmd\bda\bad\bdm\bm will scan these devices and no others.
  42
  43               The  d\bde\bev\bvi\bic\bce\be  line may contain a number of different
  44               devices (separated by spaces) and each device  name
  45               can contain wild cards as defined by g\bgl\blo\bob\bb(7).
  46
  47               Also,  there may be several device lines present in
  48               the file.
