You said it's working, so that's a good thing. But I can't help
wondering whether there's some mistake in the way your raid is
configured—a part that perhaps aids monitoring it rather than
being essential to its assembly.

Not that it would help me at all (I haven't used raid), but
perhaps you could show how your raid is configured, for others
to cast an eye over. Experienced raiders might spot something.

I always archive the output of udevadm for my disks (actually
I just copy the /run/udev/data/b8\:* files). Does mdadm have a
equivalent manner of displaying its configuration?

Cheers,
David.
