Thank you Dave for your suggestion. Before you wrote back, I went ahead and  
tried out: 
 
mdadm -Av -amd 1 --uuid=xxxxx /dev/sd*
 
and that seemed to work. Is that okay. Unfortunately, "man mdadm" doesn't  
explain in much detail what the "yes" and "no" options do, unless I missed  
something. But the "md" option seems to make mdadm behave like it used to under 
 
devfs -- right? Only rather than specifing a device with the syntax "/dev/mdXX" 
 you just use "XX" or "X". 
 
It's not complicated, but it would be good to just know I'm doing it right.
