Well yes, I had previously tried the lines that were commented out, including the DEVICE statement as listed. And I had followed one of the conventions given in mdadm.conf(5) -- using the "*" to wildcard the devices. I had seen other examples on the net where an SA had used multiple DEVICE statement to separate out the devices with their respective ARRAYs, but there's no mention of that being needed in the man pages of mdadm/mdadm.conf that I could find.
And I may be a little dense here, but I still don't see an "mdadm --assemble" in the startup anywhere, so I'm a little confused as to how this is supposed to happen. Rough being a raidtools kinda guy for all those years... ;) Thanks!
