Besides, specifying UUIDs does not work because it runs into the exact problem we're trying to solve in the first place. Behold the "blkid" output from the server in question: /dev/sdb2: UUID="1583e643-7004-a86e-4eff-81c58ea53278" TYPE="mdraid" /dev/sdb: UUID="1583e643-7004-a86e-4eff-81c58ea53278" TYPE="mdraid" Interestingly, for some reason it doesn't do that with /dev/sda -- most probably because the disks in question use different head/sector values and thus have slightly different partition layout. -- 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
