It seems like a trick question! :)
You don't use "missing" on assemble, it is a keyword for the create command.

For assemble. just don't list that device.
mdadm --assemble --run --force /dev/md2 /dev/hdi1 /dev/hdk1 /dev/hdo1

mdadm will know which disk is which.

Hi !

Today i tried following:

-snip-
server:~# mdadm --assemble --run --force /dev/md2 /dev/hdi1 /dev/hdk1
missing /dev/hdo1
mdadm: cannot open device missing: No such file or directory
mdadm: missing has no superblock - assembly aborted

server:~# cat /var/log/messages
Mar 12 14:27:49 server kernel: md: md2 stopped.
Mar 12 14:28:05 server kernel: md: md2 stopped.
-snap-


Maybe this information is useful.

Regards
Ronny
