+15. How can I start a dirty degraded array?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ A degraded array (e.g. a RAID5 with only two disks) that has not been
+ properly stopped cannot be assembled just like that; mdadm will refuse and
+ complain about a "dirty degraded array".
+
+ The solution is to force-assemble it, and then to start it. Please see
+ recipes 4 and 4b of /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.recipes.gz .
