As you see the array has only two devices still the "number" for the devices are 3 and 2. How could I change this to have number 0 for /dev/sdb13 and number 1 for /dev/sdc13?
Does it really matter?
It does not matter at all. Andrei's question (rhetorical in nature) along with he and Xen's discussion regarding the raid "slot" number is directly the point. The "slot" number used by mdraid has no bearing on overall array operation from the user standpoint. It is more an accounting parameter used internally by mdraid. Don't lose any more sleep over it. You already know it resulted from you booting in degraded mode as a test. mdraid is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing. Unless you need to see the details, $ cat /proc/mdstat will show you are pertinent information from an "is the array working on all disks?" standpoint. -- David C.
