[opensuse] mdraid/mdadm question
Hello: I have several mdraid RAID1 arrays. At boot /etc/init.d/boot.md script runs and activates the arrays. It seems that it activates all the arrays it finds, even if they are not in the /etc/mdadm.conf file. How can I set openSUSE to activate only those arrays which are mentioned in /etc/mdadm.conf, and leave alone the remaining ones?

man mdadm.conf Check the explanation of the AUTO line. You have to deny auto-assembly of the metadata types that you are using. (Or deny them all.)

First I found it strange since I don't have any AUTO line in mu mdadm.conf. After having read the whole man file I found the culprit: "If no DEVICE line is present, then "DEVICE partitions containers" is assumed." As I have no device line either the above is applied and all recognized arrays are assembled. Adding AUTO -all line to mdamd.conf prevents automatic assembling. (I added it before my ARRAY definitions, but I guess it does not matter, any position is OK.) Thanks for your help.
