* config: new option to suppress adding bad block lists.NeilBrown2014-08-071-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | CREATE bbl=no in mdadm.conf will cause any devices added to an array to not have a bad block list. By default they do for 1.x metadata. This is useful if you are suspicious of the bad-block-list implementation. Reported-by: Ethan Wilson <ethan.wilson@shiftmail.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* Config: multiple occurences of lines is not an error.NeilBrown2013-09-031-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | As we now support config directories it is helpful if lines are allowed to occur multiple times with one over-riding the other. So stop giving warnings when later lines are ignored. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* align spelling of “RAID” and RAID levelsChristoph Anton Mitterer2013-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | * Aligned the spelling of “RAID” to use captial letters in all places. * Aligned the spelling of the RAID level names (LINEAR, RAID1, …) to use capital letters in all places, except for the string “faulty” in places where not the RAID level was meant.

* Remove lots of unnecessary white space.NeilBrown2013-06-191-1/+0

* create_mddev: add support for /dev/md_XXX non-numeric names.NeilBrown2013-05-151-3/+29
| | | | | | | | | | With the 'devnm' infrastructure fixed, it is quite easy to support names like "md_home" for md arrays. The currently defaults to "off" and can be enabled in mdadm.conf with CREATE names=yes This is incase other tools get confused by the new names. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* mdadm.conf.5: clarify connection between action=re-add and bitmaps.NeilBrown2013-01-211-3/+6
| | | | | | | | action=re-add will only re-add a recently removed device if a bitmap is present. Otherwise a force-space is needed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* config: restore the possibility of a NULL homehostNeilBrown2011-05-101-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As homehost defaults to the system name it is not possible to specify a NULL homehost. This patch restored this ability with either --homehost="" or --homehost="<none>". This allows the creation of v1.x arrays without a "hostname:" prefix in the name. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* Allow homehost to be largely ignored when assembling arrays.NeilBrown2009-05-111-5/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If mdadm.conf contains HOMEHOST <ignore> or commandline contains --homehost=<ignore> then the check that array metadata mentions the given homehost is replace by a check that the name recorded in the metadata is not already used by some other array mentioned in mdadm.conf. This allows more arrays to use their native name rather than having an _NN suffix added. This should only be used during boot time if all arrays required for normal boot are listed in mdadm.conf. If auto-assembly is used to find all array during boot, then the HOMEHOST feature should be used to ensure there is no room for confusion in choosing array names, and so it should not be set to <ignore>. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* config: allow Array line to contain array name without /dev/md/ prefix.NeilBrown2009-05-111-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For consistency with --create and --assemble, allow the array name given in mdadm.conf to exclude the "/dev/md/" prefix. So e.g. ARRAY home uuid=whatever is treated like ARRAY /dev/md/home uuid=whatever Also exclude names which create_mddev will reject. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* conf/assemble: new config line "auto".NeilBrown2009-05-111-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The line 'auto' in mdadm.conf can be used to disable assembly of specific metadata types, or of all arrays. This does not affect assembly of arrays listed in mdadm.conf or on command line. auto -all will disable all auto-assembly. auto -ddf will cause mdadm to ignore ddf arrays that are not explicitly mentioned, and auto assemble anything else it finds. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* config: support "ARRAY <ignore> ..." lines in mdadm.confNeilBrown2009-05-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes we want to ensure particular arrays are never assembled automatically. This might include an array made of devices that are shared between hosts. To support this, allow ARRAY lines in mdadm.conf to use the word "ignore" rather than a device name. Arrays which match such lines are never automatically assembled (though they can still be assembled by explicitly giving identification information on the mdadm command line.

* Italic/bold fixes in man pages.Neil Brown2008-06-261-5/+5
| | | | | | | | Two places that should have been .B or .I were .M, which of course is an error. So fix these and that the opportunity to be more consistent with highlighting of "mdadm". Make it always italic except when used as a literal example, then bold.
* Fix possible bug with bitmap space allocation with v1.0 metadataNeil Brown2008-04-291-6/+6
| | | | | When adding a device to an array, make sure we don't reserve so much space for the bitmap that there isn't room for the data.

* Hyphens and Other Manpage Typography, 4/4: literal ASCII hyphens.Peter Samuelson2007-05-081-20/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Peter Samuelson <peter@p12n.org> nroff formats "-" as the very short hyphen used for hyphenated terms and for splitting a word across two lines. When you want a literal ASCII "-", like for typing on a command line, you're supposed to use "\-" instead. Yeah, it sounds pedantic, but it actually makes a difference. With modern Unicode-capable terminals, "man" actually renders these with different characters, so if you try to search for "--create" in your favorite pager, you won't find it unless the nroff source says "\-\-create". This discrepancy doesn't generally show up with non-Unicode terminals. Signed-Off-By: Peter Samuelson <peter@p12n.org>
