--------------------------
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md2 : active raid5 sda3[3] sdb3[2]
2925544704 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [2/2] [UU]
md1 : active raid1 sda2[2] sdb2[1]
524276 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[2]
4193268 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [_U]
unused devices: <none>----------------------------------
