Create

Create environment

DISK_DIR=/var/tmp/disks
mkdir -p ${DISK_DIR}
for i in $( seq 1 9 ); do 
    dd if=/dev/zero of=${DISK_DIR}/disk${i} bs=100M count=1
    [ ! -f /dev/loop${i} ] && mknod -m 660 /dev/loop${i} b 7 ${i} 
    losetup /dev/loop${i} ${DISK_DIR}/disk${i}
done

Create raid0 device

# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level raid0 -n 2 /dev/loop[1-2]

Create raid1 with one spare

# mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level raid1 -n 2 -x 1 /dev/loop[3-5]

Create raid5 with one spare

# mdadm --create /dev/md5 --level raid5 -n 3 -x 1 /dev/loop[6-9]

Check the status

# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid0] [raid1]

Manage

Fail and remove disk

# mdadm /dev/md5 --fail /dev/loop6 --remove /dev/loop6 

Add disk

# mdadm /dev/md5 --add /dev/loop6

Destroy

# mdadm --stop /dev/md0 
# mdadm --stop /dev/md1
# mdadm --stop /dev/md5
# mdadm --remove /dev/md0 
# mdadm --remove /dev/md1
