raid0run(8)
NAME
raid0run - starts up old (superblock-less) RAID0/LINEAR
arrays
SYNOPSIS
raid0run [--configfile] [--version] [--force] [--upgrade] [-acvfuv] </dev/md?>+
DESCRIPTION
raid0run sets up a set of block devices into a single
RAID0 array. It looks in its configuration file for the
md devices mentioned on the command line, and initializes
those arrays. raid0run only works for RAID0 and LINEAR
devices, it's ment as a compatibility/migration command
for arrays created with old mdtools.
Note that initializing RAID devices with the wrong RAID
configuration file might destroy all data on the con
situent devices! RAID arrays with superblocks are much
safer and are auto-started by the kernel..
OPTIONS
- -c, --configfile filename
- Use filename as the configuration file (/etc/raidtab is used by default).
- -a, --all
- Starts up all nonpersistent RAID0 and LINEAR arrays
defined in raidtab. It skips all persistent or
non-RAID0/LINEAR arrays. This switch is handy to be
used in startup scripts for old installations. - -h, --help
- Displays a short usage message, then exits.
- -V, --version
- Displays a short version message, then exits.
NOTES
The raidtools are derived from the md-tools and raidtools
packages, which were originally written by Marc Zyngier,
Miguel de Icaza, Gadi Oxman, Bradley Ward Allen, and Ingo
Molnar.
BUGS
