* Can a running MD array name change? @ 2013-10-25 7:01 Ian Pilcher 2013-10-25 7:38 ` NeilBrown 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Ian Pilcher @ 2013-10-25 7:01 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-raid I'm still trying to figure out if there is any way that the kernel name of an MD RAID array (as shown in /proc/mdstat) can change while the array is running. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.raid/44417 for a fairly thorough explanation of why this is important to me. Any insight greatly appreciated.

No. The name that appears in /proc/mdstat can not change while an array is active. Nor will this ever be possible (at least as long as I have any say in the matter). Hope that helps.
