Depends on when you want to assemble your array. If you want/need the array to
be assembled in early user space, then use the mdadm_udev hook as described in
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio#Using_RAID. This is typically
needed when booting a system on software RAID. However, if you don't need the
array assembled in early user space, just use mdadm later on in the boot
process.

hi
i've rebooted the server and the raid is automatically assembled
and mount without any issues or input on my part,
i have not altered mkinitcpio.conf or regenerated mkinitcpio,
I'm assuming that mdadm.conf is being read on startup
or should i still go through the editing of mkinitcpio.conf and
regeneration to make sure mdadm.conf is being read at boot,
bearing in mind i will not be booting arch of the raid.
