SYNOPSIS

      raid0run  [--configfile]  [--version]  [--force]            [--upgrade]
      [-acvfuv] </dev/md?>+


DESCRIPTION

      raid0run sets up a set of block devices into a single RAID0 array.   It
      looks  in  its  configuration  file for the md devices mentioned on the
      command line, and initializes those arrays.  raid0run  only  works  for
      RAID0  and  LINEAR devices, it's ment as a compatibility/migration com-
      mand for arrays created with old mdtools.
 
      Note that initializing RAID devices with the wrong  RAID  configuration
      file might destroy all data on the consituent devices! RAID arrays with
      superblocks are much safer and are auto-started by the kernel..

OPTIONS

      -c, --configfile filename
             Use filename as the configuration file (/etc/raidtab is used  by
             default).
 
      -a, --all
             Starts  up  all nonpersistent RAID0 and LINEAR arrays defined in
             raidtab.  It skips all persistent  or  non-RAID0/LINEAR  arrays.
             This  switch  is  handy  to  be  used in startup scripts for old
             installations.
 
      -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.
