These mechanisms, while useful, do not provide complete functionality
and are unlikely to be extended. The preferred way to assemble md
arrays at boot time is using 'mdadm' or 'mdassemble' (which is a
trimmed-down mdadm). To assemble an array which contains the root
filesystem, mdadm needs to be run before that filesystem is mounted,
and so needs to be run from an initial-ram-fs. It is how this can
work that is the primary focus of this document.

.SH NAME
mdassemble \- assemble MD devices
.I aka
Linux Software RAID
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI mdassemble
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mdassemble
is a tiny program that can be used to assemble MD devices inside an
initial ramdisk (initrd) or initramfs; it is meant to replace the in-kernel
automatic RAID detection and activation.
It can be built statically and linked against lightweight libc alternatives, like
.B dietlibc,
.B klibc
or
.B uClibc.
.SH USAGE
Invoking
.B mdassemble
has the same effect as invoking
.B mdadm \-\-assemble \-\-scan.
.PP
Invoking
.B mdassemble
a second time will make all defined arrays readwrite, this is useful if
using the
.B start_ro
module parameter.
.SH OPTIONS
There are no options to
.B mdassemble.
.SH FILES
.SS /etc/mdadm.conf
The config file lists which devices may be scanned to see if
they contain MD super block, and gives identifying information
(e.g. UUID) about known MD arrays. See
.BR mdadm.conf (5)
for more details.
.B mdassemble
supports all configuration parameters defined in
.B mdadm.conf
with the exception of
.B auto=
which is supported only if mdadm was built with the
.B \-DMDASSEMBLE_AUTO
define.
