It seems to be possible that the order of the md devices is changed, if you change something with your hard disks. I just uploaded a new version of the mdadm package, that still contains mdrun, but that uses mdrun only, if no mdadm.conf was found. Perhaps that's a good solution for the release. But I still think, creating a mdadm.conf is safer than using mdrun. IMHO it's possible to create a usable mdadm.conf with the following lines: DEVICE="DEVICE " ARRAY="" mdadm --detail --scan | ( while read LINE ; do ARRAY="${ARRAY}`echo $LINE | sed -n -e 's/\(^ARRAY.*\)/\1\\\\n/p'`" DEVICE="${DEVICE} `echo $LINE | sed -n -e 'y/,/ /' -e 's/^devices=\(.*\)$/\1/p'`" done ; echo ${DEVICE} ; echo -n -e ${ARRAY} ) Cheers, Mario -- ,,, Mario Joußen (o o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--------------------------------oOO--(_)--OOo--------------------------------+ "MY SUSPENSION WAS NOT "MUTUAL"" -- Bart Simpson in BABF10 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
