The mdadm man page describes the command in the examples section. man mdadm I would not use a '>' to truncate and rewrite the file. Since there are other things in that file I think it is best to merge the two by hand. The man page documents needing the DEVICE directive for example. But along with it are these that would be lost: # by default, scan all partitions (/proc/partitions) for MD superblocks. # alternatively, specify devices to scan, using wildcards if desired. DEVICE partitions # auto-create devices with Debian standard permissions CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0660 auto=yes # automatically tag new arrays as belonging to the local system HOMEHOST <system> # instruct the monitoring daemon where to send mail alerts MAILADDR root Not having those means that the compiled in defaults will be used. Which are probably fine and the same. But there is still the man page documented need for the DEVICE directive. Better to write the output to a temporary file location and then merge them in by hand.
