The comment to this option states:
#   if this variable is set to true, mdadm will be a little more verbose e.g.
#   when creating the initramfs.

I tried that, but I did not see any difference.

Yes, I used the option only to create the array.

At linux-raid@vger.kernel.org I have got the information that this is most probably a bug and that the journaling feature is very new, but should be stable.

Now I decided to work around that problem. I prevent mdadm to auto-assemble the array with:

ARRAY /dev/md/test UUID=08ef559a:55c0f0ee:713cb429:c73d5a76

in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and (not yet tested) try to assemble and mount the array in /etc/rc.local.

I hope this works.

Cheers,
Tobi
