Well. Actually, just logically, -o/-w is "mode". And
you don't really need --misc:
mdadm -o /dev/md1
mdadm -w /dev/md1
This is a bit confusing because some options means different
things in different contexts (or "modes") and some options
are named the same as some "modes". But that's what you
pay for, well, easy of use. The options in each mode are
actually quite well-choosen and are more or less intuitive
to remember.
But it is difficult to get right in docs.
Is it okay to close this bugreport now, how do you think?
Thank you!
