WARNING
- mdrun has been deprecated on Debian. Please use mdadm in
- stead. You can find information on how to use and configure mdadm
- in the mdadm(8) and mdadm.conf(5) manpages
OPTIONS
- LIST lists all raids in the syntax needed for the number
- uuid pairs the alternative syntax accepts.
- DEVDIR An optional override for the /dev directory.
- NUMBER UUID
- pairs of number, uuids that define a md element to
- run. number comes from /dev/md/*.

- printed.
EXAMPLES
mdrun.
ENVIRONMENT
- MORERAIDVOLUMES (list of strings) : additional raid disks
- to scan, eg. loop devices.
NOTES
- If the first argument is a directory, it will be used as a
- writeable temporary directory for device nodes. mdrun needs mkn
- od to create them on-the-fly.
CAVEATS
- Create /dev/fs directory if you have devfs support in the
- kernel but do not want to mount it over /dev. Usage of /dev/fs
- directory will keep mdrun away from /dev.
