Hello, I'm looking at the module 'mdraid' of dracut (0.38) and was wondering the purpose of rd.md.uuid= parameter. I understand it can be used to selectively activate the array matching the UUID passed through the parameter but I'm wondering in which cases it can be useful... Also I don't really understand why dracut try to do its own mechanism to achieve that (by providing its own udev rules which are modified at boot time) whereas mdadm already provide the infrastructure (through mdadm.conf) in a cleaner way (IMHO). Another question, hopefully you don't mind: dracut provide an udev set of rules in a file named 59-persistent-storage-md.rules. I still don't really see the point since most of the stuff in it seems to already be done by the rule fileudev-md-raid-arrays.rules, shipped by mdadm (3.3.2). Ah my last question not related to mdraid: why dracut uses stderr to print out all its messages: info, debug, error. Stderr is usually used for error/warning messages only.
