Rob: pylab trick of the day

Please remove all references to my name ("rob wilkens") from your lkml.org site.. If you need help finding them google for "rob wilkens" the results are near the top. Thanks!

A correction and some details:

The line I would replace would be line FIVE (the initialization of the "for" loop) and not line ONE.

The reason I find this necessary is because, in SL4.3 (fedora variant), there are 32 "md" devices listed in /dev even though they may not be all used.

Thus the correction just looks at those devices defined in /etc/mdadm.conf, which is where one would want to look.

It's a nice script that doesn't require any prerequisites, however I don't have 32 md devices in actual use.

It might be better to parse the /etc/mdadm.conf file. So your first line might read:

for dev in `cat /etc/mdadm.conf | grep md?* | sort | awk '{print $2}'` ; do \

Which avoids checking my non-existent md3-md32 devices.
