Perhaps I should be posting this in a more general Linux forum, but I've become such a fan of Ubuntu, so here it goes:
I issued the following command with the abbreviated results:
root@server:/# blkid
...
/dev/md0: UUID="5fde8b84-49d1-4a52-b9a9-3cdbf432ab1d" TYPE="ext3"
Then I issued:
root@server:/# mdadm --detail --scan
...
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 metadata=00.90 UUID=0d0152dd:d6532c83:bd94c120:a359ab0a
So my question is why does /dev/md0 have two different UUID's?
My guess would be that it's the difference between the array and the filesystem, but is there a more technical explanation?
Cheers,
Rex
