Re: best practice when using removable drives and USB enclosure?

SO..... I don't anticipate changing drives in and out of the last two
open slots of my USB enclosure, but what would be the best practice
for making sure md1 comes up at boot all the time without having to
manually go into mdadm.conf and modify it back to /dev/sdh1 and
/dev/sdi1 when I put a drive in the open drive slots?

Just remove the devices= entry; it is redundent when you are using UUID's.

mdadm.conf

ARRAY   /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4
UUID=cdaba8bd:80943c6a:ab2fedca:3ef56cfb
ARRAY   /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2
UUID=649526d8:828a57b4:ab2fedca:3ef56cfb
