11 @Paul, Ah, I see!
12
13 The component drives in a RAID-1 array have the _same_ UUID, so I would
14 assume that a line in /etc/mdadm.conf such as:
15
16 ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=d3176595:06cb3677:46406ca7:d12d146f
17
18 would identify _both_ component drives. This is what the output of
19 mdadm --examine --brief --scan --config=partitions would imply.
20
21 I'll try this.
22
23 I'm not fond of UUID's. They're hard to read and impossible to copy by
24 hand without making mistakes!
