As a consequence, apparently I must use mdadm. Its man page is a mile long. I'm having a hard time determining what is required to do what I wish done, prepare a disk with 10 degraded md devices, in advance on one machine, for subsequent 42.1 and TW installation in another machine, minimizing downtime in the target machine. My proposed creation commands are as follows:

Looks good, I've never bothered with --homehost and --name, but they're probably useful. I would probably shorten it: mdadm --create /dev/md3 --metadata=1.2 --homehost=fi965 --name=r133root -l1 -n2 /dev/sdb11 missing -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
