True.
A future release will have this text:
HOMEHOST
The homehost line gives a default value for the --homehost=
option to mdadm. There should be exactly one other word on the
line. It should either exactly <system> or a host name. If
<system> is given, then the gethostname(2) systemcall is used to
get the host name. When arrays are created, this host name will
be stored in the metadata. When arrays are assembled using
auto-assembly, only arrays with this host name stored in the
metadata will be considered.
Thanks.
