Debian experimental. But so far, I was unable to get rid of mdadm.conf because it only works without the info in that file if the homehost is correctly encoded in the metadata.

We rely on linux-base reporting the FS type as linux_raid_member and mdadm -E finding the metadata if that's the case. -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ sex an und für sich ist reine selbstbefriedigung. spamtraps: madduck.bogus@xxxxxxxxxxx
