Subject: Change preferred minor number of an md device?
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 18:13:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200501311813.28516.niccolo@texnet.it> (raw)
Hi to all, md gurus!
Is there a way to edit the preferred minor of a stopped device?
Alternatively, is there a way to create a raid1 device specifying the
preferred minor number md0, but activating it provisionally as a different
minor, say md5? An md0 is already running, so "mdadm --create /dev/md0"
fails...
I have to dump my /dev/md0 to a different disk (/dev/md5), but when I boot
from the new disk, I want the kernel to autmatically detect the device
as /dev/md0.
Many thanks
