oo! yaay! there is, however, no mention of the fact that these
options display UUIDs, and, confusingly, -s is listed as "only working
with the -R option"... oh wait, that's for Incremental Assembly mode
(eek!) ok, so -s (or --scan), scan /proc/mdstat, and -E for "show
components".

that's odd. i read around each part (man mdadm^M /partitions^M),
paragraph back and forwards: no mention of the UUIDs of drive
components of an array was clearly evident.

ok. feeling slightly overwhelmed by the task, my lack of knowledge
on the detailed workings of mdadm somewhat getting in the way, but
i'll do my best.
