raidstart(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      raidstart(8)

NAME

       raidstart, raidstop, - command set to manage md devices.

SYNOPSIS

       raidstart [options] <raiddevice>*

       raidstop [options] <raiddevice>*

DESCRIPTION

       RAID  devices  are  virtual  devices  created  from two or more real block devices. This allows multiple disks to be combined into a single
       filesystem, possibly with automated backup and recovery. Linux RAID devices are implemented through the md device driver.

       If you're using the /proc filesystem, /proc/mdstat gives you informations about md devices status.

       Currently, Linux supports linear md devices, RAID0 (striping), RAID1 (mirrroring), and RAID4 and RAID5. For information on the various lev-
       els of RAID, check out:

	    http://ostenfeld.dk/~jakob/Software-RAID.HOWTO/

       for new releases of the RAID driver check out:

	    ftp://ftp.fi.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha

       Avaible commands are :

       mkraid : configures (creates) md (RAID) devices in the kernel, banding multiple devices into one.

       raidstart : activates (starts) an existing 'persistent' md device

       raid0run : activates old nonpersistent RAID0/LINEAR md devices

       raidstop : turns off an md device, and unconfigures (stops) it

       By default, a systems RAID configuration is kept in /etc/raidtab, which can configure multiple RAID devices.

       All  of	these  tools  work similiarly. If -a (or --all) is specified, the specified operation is performed on all of the RAID devices men-
       tioned in the configuration file. Otherwise, one or more RAID devices must be specified on the command line. For example:

       raid0run -a

       Starts all of the 'old' RAID0 RAID devices specified in /etc/raidtab. If only /dev/md1 should be started, the following command	should	be
       used instead:

       raidstart /dev/md1

OPTIONS

       -a, --all
	      Apply the command to all of the configurations specified in the config file.

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

       -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.
