-.TH MDASSEMBLE 8 "" v4.0
-.SH NAME
-mdassemble \- assemble MD devices
-.I aka
-Linux Software RAID
-
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-
-.BI mdassemble
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B 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
-.B dietlibc,
-.B klibc
-or
-.B uClibc.
-
-.SH USAGE
-Invoking
-.B mdassemble
-has the same effect as invoking
-.B mdadm \-\-assemble \-\-scan.
-.PP
-Invoking
-.B mdassemble
-a second time will make all defined arrays readwrite, this is useful if
-using the
-.B start_ro
-module parameter.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-
-There are no options to
-.B mdassemble.
-
-.SH FILES
-
-.SS /etc/mdadm.conf
-
-The config file lists which devices may be scanned to see if
-they contain MD super block, and gives identifying information
-(e.g. UUID) about known MD arrays. See
-.BR mdadm.conf (5)
-for more details.
-
-.B mdassemble
-supports all configuration parameters defined in
-.B mdadm.conf
-with the exception of
-.B auto=
-which is supported only if mdadm was built with the
-.B \-DMDASSEMBLE_AUTO
-define.
