# raidadd(8)

obsolete RAID command

## NAME

raidadd, - obsolete RAID command

## SYNOPSIS

**raidadd**

in earlier RAID versions, **raidadd** was a utility used to start up a RAID array. This work is now done by the kernel for 'persistent' RAID arrays, or by mkraid/raid0run for (old) nonpersistent arrays. If kernel autostart is disabled for an array then the 'raidstart' command can be used.

## SEE ALSO
