Hi,
I have a question that has been puzzling me since last night. I had a raid device /dev/md0 configured with raid 1 ( two devices). I stopped the array (mdadm -S /dev/md0).. If you look at /proc/mdstat, the device is not active, nothing in there.
So, To assemble the array, I did:
Code:
mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/hda6 /dev/hda7
The raid device is now assembled and active.
The question is: how could linux have known about what the raid level is and other raid configuration given that I had no raid configuration file?
I was thinking that such data is stored on the disks somewhere! or something like that.
Could someone help figure this out?
