My RAID-5 array is composed of six USB drives. Unfortunately, my Ubuntu Dapper system doesn't always assign the same devices to the drives after a reboot. However, mdadm doesn't seem to like having an mdadm.conf that doesn't have a Devices line with specified device names. Anyway to setup an mdadm.conf so that it will just assemble the drives using the UUID of the array? Or is the trick to not have an mdadm.conf and add something to a runlevel script?
