If I run it on an element of the array I get: ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid6 num-devices=10 UUID=5a53eeb8:4d87963b:4cb502e9:37bde716 'Nothing about the metadata or the array name. > Of course, /dev/mdadm.conf has the same entry. Um, did you mean /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf? I don't have a /dev/mdadm.conf on my system. -- 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
