Without arguments: autodetect all RAID partitions and activate MDs.
mdrun LIST
mdrun [ DEVDIR ] NUMBER UUID [ NUMBER UUID ... ]
WARNING
mdrun has been deprecated on Debian. Please use mdadm instead. You can find information on how to use and configure mdadm in the mdadm(8) and mdadm.conf(5) manpages
OPTIONS
- LIST
-
lists all raids in the syntax needed for the number uuid pairs the alternative syntax accepts.
- DEVDIR
-
An optional override for the /dev directory.
- NUMBER UUID
-
pairs of number, uuids that define a md element to run. number comes from /dev/md/*.
RETURN VALUE
Nothing is displayed and mdrun returns 0 on success.
ERRORS
On error, non-zero is returned, and a diagnostic string is printed.
EXAMPLES
mdrun.
ENVIRONMENT
MORERAIDVOLUMES (list of strings) : additional raid disks to scan, eg. loop devices.
NOTES
If the first argument is a directory, it will be used as a writeable temporary directory for device nodes. mdrun needs mknod to create them on-the-fly.
CAVEATS
Create /dev/fs directory if you have devfs support in the kernel but do not want to mount it over /dev. Usage of /dev/fs directory will keep mdrun away from /dev.
