HOWTO
Scan devices
mdadm --examine --scan --verbose /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2
Stop array
mdadm --stop /dev/md0
Re-add disk to array
mdadm /dev/md0 --re-add /dev/sdc1
List devices
Just
cat /proc/mdstat
What the howto and man mdadm don't tell
Checking the raid units
From man md:
echo check > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
check /proc/mdstat for status, and then set back to idle:
echo idle > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
Looking at your raid units
cat /proc/mdstat mdadm --detail /dev/md0
(also shows what's going on when checking/resynching)
Hotswapping (scsi) disks
eject -s /dev/sda
