raid0run(8)

NAME

raid0run - starts up old (superblock-less) RAID0/LINEAR

arrays

raid0run  [--configfile]   [--version]   [--force]
[--upgrade] [-acvfuv] </dev/md?>+

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..

-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.

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.

no known bugs.
