If anyone can help with some type of diagnosis, I would much appreciate it since i'm killing myself over this one. The dmesg output is at (appended with timestamp): http://www.lebox.org/milan/debug/ The first dmesg snapshot right after a boot, 2nd after mdadm -A /dev/md0 -f /dev/sda1 ... command and final two while mount /dev/md0 /mnt/tmp hangs; same as described above.
