Package: mdadm Version: 3.1.4-1+8efb9d1+squeeze1 Severity: normal The man page says "Also, using --uuid= when creating a v0.90 array will silently override any --homehost= setting."
This is not true: root@squeeze00:~# date; mdadm --create /dev/md1 --uuid=6f05ff4e:b4d49c1f:7fa21d88:ad0c50a9 --homehost=migrate08 --metadata=0.90 --leve\ l=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb3 missing Tue Sep 4 12:33:37 PDT 2012 mdadm: /dev/sdb3 appears to be part of a raid array: level=raid1 devices=2 ctime=Fri Aug 31 20:59:50 2012 Continue creating array? y mdadm: array /dev/md1 started. root@squeeze00:~# mdadm --examine /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb3: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 0.90.00 UUID : 6f05ff4e:b4d49c1f:1b351879:7d3a4743 I also tried with homehost after uuid and with no homehost at all. The uuid is always rewritten. This is a problem for me because I am attempting to reconstruct an array of virtual disks for a lenny VM that expects the uuid I specified. As an aside, I'm not sure why this system has a mdadm.conf (below). The base VM (before mount the 2 virtual disks to repair) uses no s/w raid. Note the 2 virtual disks support 2 different RAID devices, based on the 1st and 3rd partitions respectively. -- Package-specific info: --- mdadm.conf DEVICE partitions CREATE owner=root group=disk
