raid0run.8

NAME

       raid0run  -  starts  up old (superblock-less) RAID0/LINEAR
       arrays

SYNOPSIS

       raid0run  [--configfile]   [--version]   [--force]
       [--upgrade] [-acvfuv] </dev/md?>+

DESCRIPTION

       raid0run  sets  up  a  set  of block devices into a single
       RAID0 array.  It looks in its configuration file  for  the
       md  devices mentioned on the command line, and initializes
       those arrays.  raid0run only works for  RAID0  and  LINEAR
       devices,  it's  ment  as a compatibility/migration command
       for arrays created with old mdtools.

       Note that initializing RAID devices with  the  wrong  RAID
       configuration  file  might  destroy  all  data on the con­
       situent devices! RAID arrays  with  superblocks  are  much
       safer and are auto-started by the kernel..

OPTIONS

       -c, --configfile filename
              Use    filename    as    the   configuration   file
              (/etc/raidtab is used by default).

       -a, --all
              Starts up all nonpersistent RAID0 and LINEAR arrays
              defined  in  raidtab.   It  skips all persistent or
              non-RAID0/LINEAR arrays. This switch is handy to be
              used in startup scripts for old installations.

       -h, --help
              Displays a short usage message, then exits.

       -V, --version
              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.

BUGS

       no known bugs.
