I have just built a system and have it booting off a software raid partition. The raid sets use devices /dev/md0, /dev/hd1, /dev/md2, /dev/md3. I now need to transfer some additional disks to this system. These disks are presently in another system where they host a number of raid sets, currently also /dev/md0 - /dev/md4. I need to ensure that the data on the raid set that I am adding to the system is not lost. However, clearly, I can't have the raid sets on these disks come up as /dev/md0-md4. How do I ensure this and have these raid sets come up on /dev/md5 and higher?
