I'm not at all against splitting the udev rules into two files, but your
reasoning seems a bit odd and I want to be sure that I understand.
We run "mdadm -I" based on the contents of ID_FS_TYPE, and ID_FS_TYPE is set
by "blkid", which is called after the "mdadm -I" rules. So why do they work
at all?
Presumably something else is calling "blkid" ?
That seems to be "persistent-storage.rules" which calls "blkid" on some
devices, but not on others. That seems sub-optimal. It is probably
reasonable that it skips "sr*" (which is explicit) but for us it is
unfortunate that it skips "md*".
I cannot see a good reason for persistent-storage-rules to skip 'md' devices,
so I would suggest that the best way to fix the problem is the fix that
rules file. Then we could remove the "blkid" call from the md rules which is
nice as it removes duplication.
We could still split the md rules files, but I would rather do that because
it was a good and clean thing to do, not do that because it helps work around
a short-coming in some other rules files.
Thoughts?
