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.
Thanks!

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.
