After my last shenanigans, I've now got my main system booting successfully from a raid / partition. HOWEVER. I'm somewhat puzzled by grub.cfg, and this is in part behind why my dev system won't boot raid properly, I think. Grub uses two different UUIDs!?!? One of them, (mduuid/...) is dead easy to find, "mdadm -D" gives the md uuid of the array. But the other one, the "root=UUID=...", I'm damned if I can find that id anywhere! Does anyone know a command, that will tell me what that id is, so I can fix grub.cfg on my development system? (As an aside, how do I retrospectively force a name onto an array so that I can guarantee it will be called /dev/md100, or /dev/mdhome, or whatever? I daren't use the /dev/mdxxx name at the moment, because they change and the result is a system that fails to boot, or is unusable, or some other malarkey. Dead easy for me to fix, but my wife will go spare!)
