Bug Description

The mdadm(8) manual page:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/mdadm.8.html

does not explicitly mention the optional --manage and --misc mode options. However, the official Linux Raid Wiki:

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Linux_Raid

does refer to these in some examples. This caused some confusion until I ran strings on the mdadm binary and saw that both of these were mentioned in the internal help.

This is a minor point, but one which I believe should be rectified to avoid ambiguity in the documentation of this command.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1367492/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
