Not quite true, drives in a RAID have the same UUID. Here's my raid5 for an xxample: # blkid | grep mdraid /dev/sdb1: UUID="bf59d132-8b98-7d9c-c526-af1cfb835fa3" TYPE="mdraid" /dev/sdc1: UUID="bf59d132-8b98-7d9c-c526-af1cfb835fa3" TYPE="mdraid" /dev/sdd1: UUID="bf59d132-8b98-7d9c-c526-af1cfb835fa3" TYPE="mdraid" So you would need to reset the UUID before reusing a drive from an array.
