wanted to migrate the raid server from slack to debain, installed etch on a
stand alone disk, not the array.
installed mdadm, asked me a couple of questions. then for reasons beyond me
tried and assembled.
I got no clue how debian figured the mdadm.conf, I didn't write one.
so I stopped that array and had a look at the mdadm -E data, which are odd, my
old mdadm.conf in slackware used these two lines:
DEVICE /dev/sd[abcd]1
ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=7f103422:7be2c2ce:e67a70be:112a2914
now in mdadm -E /dev/sda I get this:
(note: /dev/sda, should be sda1 but mdadm -E /dev/sda1 doesn't give me
anything at all but an error)
# mdadm -E /dev/sda

The only proper UUID is on sdd and there it says its confed as spare.
ANY help appreciated
