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…

I'll try my best to provide feedback.

Thanks,
