Hi, from your post at http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg07384.html I read that autodetecting arrays with a 1.x superblock is currently impossible. Does it at least work to force the kernel to always assume a 1.x sb? There are some 'broken' distros out there that still don't use mdadm in initramfs, and recreating the initramfs each time is a bit cumbersome...
