And note that the /dev/sd + letter names are detection-order
dependent. Another box will detect the same partitions on the raid
but they might end up with different names. Assuming you don't boot
from the disk, that is something you can fix with a little fiddling
after you see where it ends up on the new host, but it can be
inconvenient - and you have to know how to remount your root disk rw
so you can fix it when a bad fstab entry makes the boot fail.
