using UUID's for a raid1 in /etc/fstab instead of /dev/md0
Hi,
Someone recently talked about using
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
to figure out the correct UUID to put into /etc/fstab
for hard drives.
I have /home on a raid1 /dev/md0 which is composed of two drive partitions
/dev/sda1
/dev/sdb1
Now in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
I have:
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=3cfd16a0:6eaa64dd:0dfcf1b5:2690c9eb
Now, I thought to try that UUID, but when I tried that
and put the line
/etc/fstab
using
http://linuxbasics.org/tutorials/during/uuid_naming?rev=1207514451
thus
UUID=3cfd16a0:6eaa64dd:0dfcf1b5:2690c9eb /home ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
It was a real bust and dropped me into control d boot land. I then fixed it
/etc/fstab back to /dev/md0 and all was ok.
So that must be the UUID for the individual /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1.
What is the UUID for the raid1 itself?
Thanks.
Mitchell
