After completing the YaST2 build process, I installed 13.1 on 1md09root1. This is the (condensed) mdadm.conf installation created, with appended the 2 sda/sdb partitions making up each device:
DEVICE containers partitions ARRAY /dev/md/srv10:md-home UUID=99e6... ARRAY /dev/md/srv10:md-isos UUID=637f... # P17
...
I'd like to get back the orderly simplicity of md0-md9
Do not use meaningful names then. Use md0 - md9 as name (or possibly simply 0 - 9). X in mdX is device minor number which is allocated at runtime; if array name looks like number, mdadm is using it as minor number; otherwise it allocates one from upper half to reduce possibility of collision.
Can I simply edit away the hostname portion, sort the balance into partition order, and have the boot process assign device names in predictable sequence each time?
You already have predictable stable unique name that you yourself assigned. Why do you care what minor number device gets? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
