The 'devices=' bits by themselves aren't enough, and are rarely wanted. If a device isn't listed in the DEVICES lines, then it won't be considered for use in an array. The 'devices=' words are quite different. They say "this is how you recognise a device that is in this array. All the devices in it are on this list". This is reported by "mdadm --detail --scan" largely for interest. It should rarely be included in mdadm.conf. The very latest version ofn mdadm does not report them unless --verbose is given.
