I have the following line in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf  :
ARRAY /dev/md/7 metadata=1.2 UUID=3a668d80:bac84358:bd22fc1c:9636ae87 name=ron:7

But the corresponding line given by # mdadm --detail --scan is:
ARRAY /dev/md7 metadata=1.2 name=ron:7 UUID=d5372c25:8cae85c1:ae9dc0d7:07345036

Should I worry over the shift from /md/7 to /md7, given that all other lines in mdadm --detail --scan   start with ARRAY /dev/md/? ?
 
If not I'll modify /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, run update-initramfs -u and see what happens.

Cheers,
 
Ron.
