Move array to new hardware
I have moved the RAID drives from my old machine to a new one. The drives were connected to a hardware RAID controller in the old machine but they are connected as plain Jane SATA drives in the new machine. Everybody seems to be happy and mdadm reports the array as healthy and alive and I am able to mount the array and use it. The RAID device on the old machine was md127 and mdadm reports it as the same device on the new machine.
So, should I count my lucky stars and use the array as is, or is there a gotcha that I am missing?
