Another box will detect the same partitions on the raid but they might end up with different names. Assuming you don't boot from the disk, that is something you can fix with a little fiddling after you see where it ends up on the new host, but it can be inconvenient - and you have to know how to remount your root disk rw so you can fix it when a bad fstab entry makes the boot fail. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
