Re: how to install man pages?

Weird. Had damage?

One has the man pages for mdadm.conf(5) but none for mdadm. The other has
man pages for mdadm.conf(5) and mdadm(8). "man 8 mdadm" refers to mdadm(4)
which exists on neither. Note that neither box is running a raid array!?
(%#*&!;D)
Can anybody enlighten me on how to install some/any/all man pages for
some/any/all applications?

The easiest thing is to reinstall the "mdadm" package in this case.
On my fc7 box it has all these pages:

[/u/cameron]finola*> rpm -qf $(which mdadm)
mdadm-2.6.2-4.fc7
[/u/cameron]finola*1> rpm -ql mdadm
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mdmonitor
/sbin/mdadm
/sbin/mdadm.static
/sbin/mdassemble.static
/usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2
/usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/ChangeLog
/usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/TODO
/usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/mdadm.conf-example
/usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.2/syslog-events
/usr/share/man/man4/md.4.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/mdadm.conf.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/mdadm.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/mdassemble.8.gz
/var/run/mdadm
