Any word that - beings with a hash sign (#) starts a comment and that word - together with the remainder of the line are ignored. - - Any line that start with white space (space or tab) is - treated as though it were a continuation of the previous - line. - - Empty lines are ignored, but otherwise each (non continua- - tion) line must start with a keyword as listed below. The - key words are case insensitive and can be abbreviated to 3 - characters. - - The keywords are: - - DDEEVVIICCEE A ddeevviiccee line lists the devices (whole devices or - partitions) that might contain a component of an MD - array. When looking for the components of an - array, mmddaaddmm will scan these devices and no others. - - The ddeevviiccee line may contain a number of different - devices (separated by spaces) and each device name - can contain wild cards as defined by gglloobb(7). - - Also, there may be several device lines present in - the file. - - For example: - - DEVICE /dev/hda* /dev/hdc* - DEV /dev/sd* - DEVICE /dev/discs/disc*/disc - - - AARRRRAAYY The ARRAY lines identify actual arrays. The second - word on the line should be the name of the device - where the array is normally assembled, such as - //ddeevv//mmdd11. Subsequent words identify the array, or - identify the array as a member of a group. If mul- - tiple identities are given, then the array must - match ALL identities to be considered a match. - Each identity word has a tag, and equals sign, and - some value. The options are: - - - uuuuiidd== The value should be a 128 bit uuid in hexadeci- - mal, with punctuation interspersed if desired. - This must match the uuid stored in the - superblock. - - ssuuppeerr--mmiinnoorr== - The value is an integer which indicates the - minor number that was stored in the superblock - when the array was created. When an array is - created as /dev/mdX, then the minor number X is - stored. - - ddeevviicceess== - The value is a comma separated list of device - names. Precisely these devices will be used to - assemble the array. Note that the devices - listed there must also be listed on a DEVICE - line. - - lleevveell== The value is a raid level. This is not nor- - mally used to identify an array, but is sup- - ported so that the output of - - mmddaaddmm ----eexxaammiinnee ----ssccaann - - can be use directly in the configuration file. - - ddiisskkss== The value is the number of disks in a complete - active array. As with lleevveell== this is mainly - for compatibility with the output of - - mmddaaddmm ----eexxaammiinnee ----ssccaann. - - - ssppaarree--ggrroouupp== - The value is a textual name for a group of - arrays. All arrays with the same ssppaarree--ggrroouupp - name are considered to be part of the same - group. The significance of a group of arrays - is that mmddaaddmm will, when monitoring the arrays, - move a spare drive from one array in a group to - another array in that group if the first array - had a failed or missing drive but no spare. - - - MMAAIILLAADDDDRR - The mmaaiillaaddddrr line gives an E-mail address that - alerts should be sent to when is running in ----mmoonnii-- - ttoorr mode (and was given the ----ssccaann option). There - should only be one MMAAIILLAADDDDRR line and it should have - only one address. - - - - PPRROOGGRRAAMM - The pprrooggrraamm line gives the name of a program to be - run when mmddaaddmm ----mmoonniittoorr detects potentially inter- - esting events on any of the arrays that it is moni- - toring. This program gets run with two or three - arguments, they being the Event, the md device, and - possibly the related component device. - - There should only be one pprrooggrraamm line and it should - be give only one program. - - - -SSEEEE AALLSSOO - mmddaaddmm(8), mmdd(4). - - - - - MDADM.CONF(5) |
