Mounting RAID array device in /etc/fstab in Debian GNU/Linux

May be helpful for you while mounting RAID array device in /etc/fstab

While making entry in /etc/fstab for newly created RAID device, we need either device name (/dev/md7) or UUID. I got the UUID using the command

#mdadm –detail /dev/md7

and made the entry in fstab. But it did not worked as per expectation

Searched Google about the problem as usual. I found that we have to use the UUID provided by the following command

#blkid /dev/md7

not by the command mdadm. Both UUID are different. It works. I have no idea why they are different. So please if you find please tell me as well.

Have FUN! again
