No, MD uses the order they were specified in the "--create" operation,
and records that in metadata on each device. Re-assembly can specify
them in any order--MD will put them into the correct role.
Thanks for this. So basically, the naming of the device is only
important at the time of creating the array (as that defines the
layout). As soon as I create the array, mdadm puts it's own metadata on
the drive so it can identify them afterwards? That sounds very good indeed.
Now, onto the topic of PCIe adapter. I was looking at this:
http://www.cclonline.com/product/42541/PEXSAT32/IDE-SATA-SCSI-Cards/StarTech-2-Port-SATA-6-Gbps-PCI-Express-SATA-Controller-Card/CNT1075/
Is that a bad model? Seems a little on the cheap side? Can anyone
suggest a good model?
Many Thanks for all the help
