Subject: mdopen: only let numeric name set minor number if it doesn't cause a conflict.
X-Git-Tag: mdadm-3.0-devel2~9
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bde2c6e2870148c85f971d93e88c128d2bd0be10;p=thirdparty%2Fmdadm.git

mdopen: only let numeric name set minor number if it doesn't cause a conflict.

So if the array with minor number matching the name of a new array
already exists, just assemble with a different minor number.
