Using the filesystem ID doesn't work either because /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, and /dev/md0 all have the same UUID since it is a mirror. How do you tell the system to mount /dev/md0 and not the individual drives which is what it is trying to do now.
The tools/library that looks up filesystem UUIDs/labels are smarter than that. Or are supposed to be smarter. That it - the tools are able to recognize and skip components of a raid array, since raid superblock is present on the device - which is not present on the array itself. /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
