Hardly Universally Unique I think. That sounds like an operator error, if you ask me. The filesystem on both software RAID volumes *was* in fact the same. If you just broke the array and start using both disks independently without recreating the filesystem, of course they will have the same UUID. Don't shoot me if I am missing something, just saying. -- Etienne Goyer 0x3106BCC2 "For Bruce Schneier, SHA-1 is merely a compression algorithm." http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/fact/164
