Unfortunately, there are controller cards that present all disks as the same uuid. It makes using mdadm that can only see /dev/sdX a pain to use. So how do you propose getting a uuid or label on a disk in the first place if you can't identify which is which physically? And how do you know which to move when you want the content in some other box? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
