I see there is an mdadm --auto option now, but I don't feel confident I know how to use it. Can someone tell me the correct way to create or assemble an array with the --auto option? i.e,
mdadm -Av -a1 --uuid=xxxxx  /dev/sd*
or mdadm -Av -a /dev/md1 --uuid=xxxxx /dev/sd*

I'm not in the mood to guess... Thanks. Andy Liebman

Just use --auto or --auto=yes and it should take care of the device node creations. I have a /etc/mdadm.conf so I just do:
mdadm -As --auto=yes and it brings everything up over udev.

Although if you want to use the scan option with auto you may want to use mdadm 1.12.0 or later as on some of the earlier version the combination doesn't work.
