Hi everyone,

I've been using the RAID subsystem quite a bit over the years.  This 
week, for the first time, I created a RAID6 array over loop devices that 
point to files.

To my surprise the device showing in /proc/mdstat for this new array is 
/dev/md127.   This is a fresh system and RAID has never been configured 
on it.  I tried re-doing everything from scratch again and was sometimes 
even given /dev/md126 (though I wasn't able to reproduce this one, it 
happened once). 

My kernel is 2.6.20.4.    Can anyone give me a hint about what's going on?

Thanks,
Marc
