This is the opposite behavior of /etc/raidtab which is +# created prior to array construction. +# +# +# the config file takes two types of lines: +# +# DEVICE lines specify a list of devices of where to look for +# potential member disks +# +# ARRAY lines specify information about how to identify arrays so +# so that they can be activated +# +# You can have more than one device line and use wild cards. The first +# example includes SCSI the first partition of SCSI disks /dev/sdb, +# /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, /dev/sdj, /dev/sdk, and /dev/sdl.
