From ec164d07aa771370c7c24c1fa7f7692ad30f01cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Parschauer Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2020 12:01:39 +0200 Subject: md: register new md sysfs file 'uuid' read-only Report the UUID of the MD array in the following format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx This is useful if you don't want to wait for udev to identify array. And it is also easy for script to monitor it with the format.
