Sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my question...

I am aware of mdadms' monitor mode; in fact, I'm sure it used to run 
when I first started using mdadm (on Fedora Core 2 installed from rpm 
built myself from src rpm).

I seem to remember that this was disabled at some stage but can't 
remember the detail - possibly something to do with preventing the array 
from shutting down cleanly because mdadm -F was open on it.

I am hoping that someone can suggest how best to run mdadm -F on Fedora 
Core 2. Perhaps it could be as simple as creating a script in 
/etc/init.d/ which would terminate before the array is shutdown?
