The motherboard on which I was running a mdadm 8TB array comprised of 5 x 2TB drives has packed up so the array needs to be moved to a new motherboard. Is the sequence of connectivity to motherboard SATA ports important or does mdadm identify each drive and automagically know its sequence in the array?
