What determines mdraid minor device numbers

2011-11-13 Thread Sam Varshavchik
I have existing mdraid arrays. They get mounted as /dev/md0 through /dev/md2. After some sweat and tears, I reduces the size of one of them, and used the free disk space to assemble a new array (all arrays we're talking here are raid 1, with two disks). I formatted the new md device as ext3.
