I'll give that a try, Never, ever, try to do that (again). Mdadm (or vgscan, or whatever) should NOT assemble ALL arrays found, but only those which it has been told to assemble. This is it again: you bring another disk into a system (disk which comes from another machine), and mdadm finds FOREIGN arrays and brings them up as /dev/md0, where YOUR root filesystem should be. That's what 'homehost' option is for, for example. If initrd should be reconfigured after some changes (be it raid arrays, LVM volumes, hostname, whatever), -- I for one am fine with that. Hopefully no one will argue that if you forgot to install an MBR into your replacement drive, it was entirely your own fault that your system become unbootable, after all ;) /mjt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
