mkraid (8)
initializes/upgrades RAID device arrays
SYNOPSIS
mkraid [--configfile] [--version] [--force]
[--upgrade] [-cvfu] </dev/md?>+
DESCRIPTION
OPTIONS
Use filename as the configuration file (/etc/raidtab is used
by default).
Initialize the consituent devices, even if they appear to have data on
them already.
Displays a short usage message, then exits.
This option upgrades older arrays to the current kernel's RAID version,
without destroying data. Although the utility detects various pitfalls
like mixed up disks and inconsistent superblocks, this option should be
used with care.
Displays a short version message, then exits.
NOTES
The raidtools are derived from the md-tools and raidtools packages, which
were originally written by Marc Zyngier, Miguel de Icaza, Gadi Oxman,
Bradley Ward Allen, and Ingo Molnar.
