Some of this is controlled by /etc/mdadm.conf. This file is used when running dracut to build an initramfs. For arrays that aren't listed in /etc/mdadm.conf, I think udev gets to pick the names. They seem to start at 127 and go up. There is also a minor number that is stored in the superblocks, but it doesn't seem to force that number to be part of the device name. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
