Current udev rules installed cause autoassembly of everything that is possible during coldplug - due to mdadm -I calls for each matching device. This causes two immediate problems: - mdadm.conf kind-of rendered pointless, as the assembly of any array will be attempted either way - 65-md-inc*.rules (e.g. present in dracut and different distributions) offering more fine grained controls (e.g. incremental assembly limited to certain uuids) are also shadowed by mdadm's default rules If this is not expected behaviour, following patch removes -I calls. Second patch adds ddf (and any future) containers to -If calls. Alternatively, we could detect presence of 65-md-inc* and mdadm.conf and attempt assemlby only if none of those are present ? Not perfect, but a bit more flexible.
