General software RAID status
At any time to see software RAID status eg rebuilding or device failure use:
cat /proc/mdstat
Detect array with mdadm.conf during rescue boot after a component raid device has failed
Auto-detect array created arrays during rescue mode without mdadm.conf file. To auto-detect (assemble) array during rescue mode after a failed device is removed use:
mdadm --assemble --scan
Then if the failed device is still listed it can be removed using:
mdadm --remove /dev/md<n> /dev/sd<n>
If the device is not in failed state, it can be set to failed state using:
mdadm --fail /dev/md<n> /dev/sd<n>
See details of raid device
At any time see detail of raid device using:
mdadm --detail /dev/md<n>
Similarly a component drive of raid can be examined using:
mdadm --examine /dev/sd<n>
