What about the reverse? If the user specifies the backing device, don't we need to canonicalize it to the /dev/md/ path? In other words, the problem is not canonicalizing the device, it's *how* it is canonicalized. Rather than just following the symlink, or using the user argument unmodified, we need to ask the kernel what the device's canonical ( /dev/md/ ) name is and use that. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQ7YROAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75YY4IALBRe5VC5eKWWZ+XthOrvwXU DJedCIdVLph2/S60CEJ7jla+nxHvHSKBpLbEjw0/QI2afhnwWZNxrVdupBgq3D0g x71GgWCfc6Sf+ZdP2+PDEYPlqezEYvTWTUC3TsPzP8OSc3rKvvtxLPzewr0kQi+0 +nVto/L0BPvRYb2qMEFHA+qF3mGzm+05Bh2eTaZY4zzOaAhwHuO1u3SLatq6Rj7N Yci1xB9/1ZpO6id3HtzVorbbomfRySCqMv41/GVVkFhKY9XV6VbCMz8JilEbngWL XDD1vnsFPbvtwzrUYyU2M40eIw39TXNk7ulK/Ng7/3mOpFOpQJjpqcTxod4KM0Q= =MNOg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
