From b8a8ccf945c72f847e17260feb97fc5da5222106 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Brown Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 04:53:22 +0000 Subject: New flag --no-degraded Use to avoid starting arrays if there are fewer devices available than last time the array was started. This is only needed with --scan, as with --scan, that behaviour is the default.
