So, if I understand correctly, in the Lenny version of mdadm
(I never experienced this building arrays with mdadm on Etch)
in order for the creation of an array to take place, one must
run "mdadm -w <arrayx>" immediately after running "mdadm
-C <arrayx> -n y -x z etcetc" otherwise the new array will just sit
there not syncing the component devices until the first write?
will
