I did a similar thing a while back.
I created the raid and waited for it to sync, I then make dd copies of the raid superblocks.
When I blew it up I just dd the clean superblocks back again (saved a 12 hour rebuild time)
interesting to know about this. u just check the dmesg and see where is
the sb and then u dd it out and dd back later?
Actually, I used blockdev to get the device size and then just copied the last 64kb from memory..
It's a bit hazy now but that's pretty close I think
