Indeed !! starting it with the detected UUID allowed me to start it: # mdadm -v -A /dev/md0 --uuid=3c1ad678:d3a7a1ed:1112143d:68b4e569 mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md0 mdadm: /dev/sdk1 is identified as a member of /dev/md0, slot 6. mdadm: /dev/sdj1 is identified as a member of /dev/md0, slot 5. mdadm: /dev/sdi1 is identified as a member of /dev/md0, slot 4. mdadm: /dev/sdh1 is identified as a member of /dev/md0, slot 3. mdadm: /dev/sdg1 is identified as a member of /dev/md0, slot 2. mdadm: /dev/sdf1 is identified as a member of /dev/md0, slot 1. mdadm: /dev/sde1 is identified as a member of /dev/md0, slot 0. mdadm: added /dev/sdf1 to /dev/md0 as 1 mdadm: added /dev/sdg1 to /dev/md0 as 2 mdadm: added /dev/sdh1 to /dev/md0 as 3 mdadm: added /dev/sdi1 to /dev/md0 as 4 mdadm: added /dev/sdj1 to /dev/md0 as 5 mdadm: added /dev/sdk1 to /dev/md0 as 6 mdadm: added /dev/sde1 to /dev/md0 as 0 mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 7 drives. and it mounted fine ! Still, this is the first time that such a thing happens to me. What could be the reason that UUID would be changed ?
