Hello Neil,
Maybe if you tell us what commands you ran, we could explain what you
did?
Maybe you did
mdadm -C /dev/bigdev -amd -l6 -n5 /dev/sd[a-e]
As the name "bigdev" doesn't look like "md%d", it will just choose an
unused number up around 127.
You were absolutely right, thank you. I was simply missing the device
name when creating the array, something I usually do specify :)
It is a bit odd though that it picks an unused number that high, why
doesn't it start from 0?
Thanks,
Marc
