DESCRIPTION

14       mdassemble  is  a  tiny program that can be used to assemble MD devices
15       inside an initial ramdisk (initrd) or initramfs, it is meant to replace
16       the in-kernel automatic raid detection and activation.  It can be built
17       statically and  linked  against  lightweight  libc  alternatives,  like
18       dietlibc, klibc or uClibc.

USAGE

22       Invoking  mdassemble  has  the same effect as invoking mdadm --assemble
23       --scan.
24
25       Invoking mdassemble a second time will make all  defined  arrays  read‐
26       write, this is useful if using the start_ro module parameter.

FILES

34   /etc/mdadm.conf
35       The  config file lists which devices may be scanned to see if they con‐
36       tain MD super block, and  gives  identifying  information  (e.g.  UUID)
37       about known MD arrays.  See mdadm.conf(5) for more details.
38
39       mdassemble  supports all configuration parameters defined in mdadm.conf
40       with the exception of auto= which is supported only if mdadm was  built
41       with the -DMDASSEMBLE_AUTO define.
