I was not trying to suggest that there was a mention of the UUIDs. mdadm's manpage only mentions /proc/partitions; it scans that "file" and then looks for UUIDs on each of the listed partitions, building a list indexed by UUID [0]. This is called "scanning". And now it has the list of devices (partitions) that constitute individual arrays identified by UUID… 0. not sure this is the actual implementation… > > Please suggest patches if you find the information insufficient. > > ok. feeling slightly overwhelmed by the task, my lack of > knowledge on the detailed workings of mdadm somewhat getting in > the way, but i'll do my best.
