Now, one area I would use UUIDs is with mdadm if you're not putting
lvm on top. I've seen mdadm arrays get renumbered and that is a mess
if you're directly mounting them without labels or UUIDs.
It is recommended to use names, so I call it by what it is, so I have
things like /dev/md/gentoo, /dev/md/home etc.
Is that supported with the original metadata format? I suspect that
was a big constraint since at the time my bootloader didn't support
anything newer.
Which format is this? version zero (i.e. just mdadm.conf), or 0.9 which
is the kernel auto-assembly version. Either way, they're obsolete and
bit-rotting.
I guess you do need version 1 (the difference between 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2
is the location of the superblock, not the layout).
