I concur. The manpages really should clear up that raidhotadd (and mdadm
-a) only add spares. And they should further clarify that spares are
essentially useless and lie dormant.. The names of these
commands/options are very deceptive to the new user...

Patches are more that welcome.

Is there a preferred version/cvs repository that I should diff against? The
raidtools are kinda helter-skelter in their net presence, it seems..

Sorry, I should have been more specific.
Patches *against mdadm* are welcome.
I have no interest in "raid-tools" - it seems to be unmaintained.
Patches against the lastest source tar-ball are fine.

Attached. Any plans to port that raidreconf tool into mdadm? Cause for
now, the new manpage refers people to the deprecated raidtools.
