/*
* 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
+ * or can be searched for. mdadm (optionally) checks 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
* 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.
+ * 8/ Incremental
+ * Is assembles an array incrementally instead of all at once.
+ * As devices are discovered they can be passed to "mdadm --incremental"
+ * which will collect them. When enough devices to for an array are
+ * found, it is started.
