The man pages suggest what to do when assembling/creating the array. Since I've _got_ arrays already created, that are auto-assembled using the info IN mdadm.conf, I'm unclear as to how to change/correct the name= field. Can you clarify? To my other question, http://man-wiki.net/index.php/8:mdadm#DEVICE_NAMES says, The standard names for non-partitioned arrays (the only sort of md array available in 2.4 and earlier) either of /dev/mdNN /dev/md/NN where NN is a number. The standard names for partitionable arrays (as available from 2.6 onwards) is one of /dev/md/dNN /dev/md_dNN Since my arrays are each a single partition (the RAID-10 has LVMs on the single partition), I guess that the "either of" /dev/mdNN /dev/md/NN applies? And, even if so, why do mdadm --examine & mdadm --detail use _different_ output formats?
