So if you goal is to create an mdadm.conf which will ensure that the current arrays will continue to have the names that they have now, then it would be best to use "mdadm -Ds" to create that mdadm.conf as it will use the names that the arrays have now. "mdadm -E" will use the names that the arrays would have if they were auto-assembled. NeilBrown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
