Hi Neil
When testing 00raid1, found the md127 auto created when use "-B" to build a legacy array without superblocks, is it reasonable?
This happens because udev notices a new device has appeared, looks
inside it, sees that it could be part of an md array, and so runs
"mdadm --incremental" on it.
Hi Neil
I tried the mdadm --incremental, but it doesn't work, below is the operation.
# mdadm -D /dev/md0

# mdadm -I /dev/md127
mdadm: /dev/md127 is not part of an md array.
# mdadm -I /dev/md0
mdadm: cannot reopen /dev/md0: Device or resource busy.
After I stopped md127, the md0 can be used again.
Thanks
YiSometimes we want udev to do that. Sometimes we don't.
There is no easy way for udev to know what we want.
