Re: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.6.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux

I did finish, but the example seemed to show that the --auto would build the
partitions.  I know at the end of the message Neil said then you use cfdisk
but it seemed unnecessary at that point

You must finish reading what Neil said!

< Then
<    cfdisk /dev/md/XX
< will allow you to partition the array.

He has more info you somehow skipped!
Re-read the email from Neil.

The simplest way to access this functionality is with

    mdadm --create /dev/md/XX --auto=partition --level= ....

How does in know how big to build the partitions?
How does it know how many partitions?

Can you do it with out building the partitions automatically
and instead it will just build /dev/mdXX and then I can use
fdisk, sdisk, cfdisk... to build my partitions?

Thanks
