Hi, I've two arrays, "/boot" on RAID-1 & "/, etc" on LVM on RAID-10. I currently have, cat /etc/mdadm.conf DEVICE partitions ARRAY /dev/md0 metadata=1.00 name=Rescue:0 UUID=864b9359:09f5f39b:69a4ae8a:e3d794f8 ARRAY /dev/md1 metadata=1.01 name=Rescue:1 UUID=6d541863:4e7235a3:81291c4d:b7f4b48c Couple of questions. (1) What's the "Rescue" in the name field? Does it matter what the name is? I _thought_ name was derived from hostname ... ? (2) For re-populating /etc/mdadm, should I use the output of, mdadm --detail --scan or, mdadm --examine --scan The two have different device names -- note "/dev/mdX" vs"/dev/md/X", mdadm --detail --scan > tmp.txt cat tmp.txt ARRAY /dev/md1 metadata=1.01 name=Rescue:1 UUID=6d541863:4e7235a3:81291c4d:b7f4b48c ARRAY /dev/md0 metadata=1.00 name=Rescue:0 UUID=864b9359:09f5f39b:69a4ae8a:e3d794f8 mdadm --examine --scan ARRAY /dev/md/0 metadata=1.0 UUID=864b9359:09f5f39b:69a4ae8a:e3d794f8 name=Rescue:0 ARRAY /dev/md/1 metadata=1.1 UUID=6d541863:4e7235a3:81291c4d:b7f4b48c name=Rescue:1 (3) my RAID-10 has --layout=f2 & --chunk=256. Should either of those specs be included in the /etc/mdadm.conf?
