mdadm is standarized accross all distros, including the ARM version of Linux.


Example: I had a critical failure of my RAID5 array on an ARMv6 and could not recover it as the boot partition was fried. I loaded a Live CDROM of AV Linux and rebuilt the array with my drives hanging out of my desktop, then performed a backup (12Tb), reloaded the ARM OS on the boot partition, re-installed the drives (2x6Tb, 2x3Tb) into the ARM NAS for a final rebuild. Took me 3 days...


No issues at all.
OIC!
