Please keep me in CC. I compiled v3.3 to see if the problem was still there. It is. The problem. I setup an imsm array with 2 volumes. a 200mb raid10 volume, and a raid5 on the remaining space. This was done from the bios. mdadm detected the array and volumes ok, but the names are wrong. the 200mb was named EFI and the other was named ani. /dev/md127 is the imsm container. 126 is the volume ani. (This is about 7tb. disks are 3tb each and still initializing) 125 is the volume EFI. According to --examine /dev/md127, [EFI] UUID is ad256dcf:38ff8fed:8c27647e:24f61d81 [ani] UUID is 9fe3c18a:0e9e2d4f:613456ca:b9989dcc However --detail --export /dev/md125 shows the name as ani with UUID ad256dcf:38ff8fed:8c27647e:24f61d81 and --detail --export /dev/md126 shows the name EFI with UUID 9fe3c18a:0e9e2d4f:613456ca:b9989dcc. I did manually bring these up using mdadm 3.2.5-5 (Debian). I don't remember the exact commands off the top of my head, but they should be in my history if needed. Here's some output of various commands using mdadm 3.3: # ./mdadm --detail --export /dev/md126 MD_LEVEL=raid5 MD_DEVICES=4 MD_CONTAINER=/dev/md127 MD_MEMBER=1 MD_UUID=9fe3c18a:0e9e2d4f:613456ca:b9989dcc MD_DEVNAME=EFI MD_DEVICE_sda_ROLE=0 MD_DEVICE_sda_DEV=/dev/sda MD_DEVICE_sdb_ROLE=1 MD_DEVICE_sdb_DEV=/dev/sdb MD_DEVICE_sdc_ROLE=2 MD_DEVICE_sdc_DEV=/dev/sdc MD_DEVICE_sdd_ROLE=3 MD_DEVICE_sdd_DEV=/dev/sdd # ./mdadm --detail --export /dev/md125 MD_LEVEL=raid10 MD_DEVICES=4 MD_CONTAINER=/dev/md127 MD_MEMBER=0 MD_UUID=ad256dcf:38ff8fed:8c27647e:24f61d81 MD_DEVNAME=ani MD_DEVICE_sda_ROLE=0 MD_DEVICE_sda_DEV=/dev/sda MD_DEVICE_sdb_ROLE=1 MD_DEVICE_sdb_DEV=/dev/sdb MD_DEVICE_sdc_ROLE=2 MD_DEVICE_sdc_DEV=/dev/sdc MD_DEVICE_sdd_ROLE=3 MD_DEVICE_sdd_DEV=/dev/sdd # ./mdadm --detail --export /dev/md127 MD_LEVEL=container MD_DEVICES=4 MD_METADATA=imsm MD_UUID=201ddcce:1db6911a:255409fa:5d10b453 MD_DEVICE_sda_ROLE=spare MD_DEVICE_sda_DEV=/dev/sda MD_DEVICE_sdb_ROLE=spare MD_DEVICE_sdb_DEV=/dev/sdb MD_DEVICE_sdc_ROLE=spare MD_DEVICE_sdc_DEV=/dev/sdc MD_DEVICE_sdd_ROLE=spare MD_DEVICE_sdd_DEV=/dev/sdd # ./mdadm --examine /dev/md127 /dev/md127: Magic : Intel Raid ISM Cfg Sig.
