One oddity has already come to light. My /proc/mdstat says
md2 : active raid5 sdb7[0] hda5[3] sda7[1]
19631104 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
md1 : active raid5 sda6[0] hdc5[3] sdb6[1]
76807296 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
hda5 and hdc5 look odd. Indeed, --examine says
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
0 8 6 0 active sync /dev/sda6
1 8 22 1 active sync /dev/sdb6
3 22 5 2 active sync /dev/hdc5
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
0 8 23 0 active sync /dev/sdb7
1 8 7 1 active sync /dev/sda7
3 3 5 2 active sync /dev/hda5
0, 1, and *3*. Where has number 2 gone? (And how does `Number' differ
from `RaidDevice'? Why have both?)
