Whenever I add a disk to an array, I find the device uuid (e.g., sudo mdadm -E /dev/sdb1 |grep "Device UUID") and put it onto the disk tray with a label maker. I haven't found any low information that's reliable enough to trust, and the mdadm device uuid is a nice high-level identifier. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
