# Save to mdadm.conf since it will be used in initramfs for assembling arrays | |
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf | |
# Make new file system and then migrate data | |

# Rebuild initramfs | |
# Add mdadm_udev to the HOOKS section of the mkinitcpio.conf first, then: | |
mkinitcpio -p linux | |
# Add MODULES="xfs" and BINARIES="fsck.xfs" to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf if needed | |
# (Chroot-ed) Edit /etc/fstab according to new `blkid` and then: | |
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg | |
grub-install /dev/sda | |
grub-install /dev/sdb | |
# Verify success | |
reboot | |
