Bug#415336: mdadm: doWhatINeed argument to init script

Sun Mar 18 16:22:38 CET 2007

Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.6-9
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I wish there would be a special option (or a separate script) that
simply does assemble all available devices. Similar to what mdrun did
some years ago. Why? Because I need to use it on Knoppix sometimes. The
current method means many command calls, one to scan, editor to enable
the init script action, calling init script again. I wish to simply run:

mdadm-auto-assemble

and be done with it, having everything assembled without additional
configuration. NOTE: The order does not matter. It is only for
convinience.

Eduard.
