MDASSEMBLE(8) MDASSEMBLE(8) NAME mdassemble - assemble MD devices aka Linux Software Raid. SYNOPSIS mdassemble DESCRIPTION mdassemble is a tiny program that can be used to assemble MD devices inside an initial ramdisk (initrd) or initramfs, it is meant to replace the in-kernel automatic raid detection and activation. It can be built statically and linked against lightweight libc alternatives, like dietlibc, klibc or uClibc. USAGE Invoking mdassemble has the same effect as invoking mdadm --assemble --scan. Invoking mdassemble a second time will make all defined arrays read- write, this is useful if using the start_ro module parameter. OPTIONS There are no options to mdassemble. FILES /etc/mdadm.conf The config file lists which devices may be scanned to see if they con- tain MD super block, and gives identifying information (e.g. UUID) about known MD arrays. See mdadm.conf(5) for more details. mdassemble supports all configuration parameters defined in mdadm.conf with the exception of auto= which is supported only if mdadm was built with the -DMDASSEMBLE_AUTO define.
