Figure 7.7 File System Settings
As with conventional partitioning, set the file system to use as well as encryption and
the mount point for the RAID volume. After completing the configuration with Finish,
see the /dev/md0 device and others indicated with RAID in the expert partitioner.

7.2.3 Troubleshooting

Check the file /proc/mdstats to find out whether a RAID partition has been de-
stroyed. In the event of a system failure, shut down your Linux system and replace the
defective hard disk with a new one partitioned the same way. Then restart your system
and enter the command mdadm /dev/mdX --add /dev/sdX. Replace 'X' with
your particular device identifiers. This integrates the hard disk automatically into the
RAID system and fully reconstructs it.
