The problem is that currently md doesn't think it's talking to a group of cloop devices, it thinks it's talking to "real" devices (cbod to be exact) that are hosting ext3 partitions. Technically, I suspect that it "should" work to just change the membership of the RAID on the Linux side, but given the amount of data, I'd like to avoid having to rebuild an array and have to reload all the data.
