That happened to me too but it was because I had the number of devices in the file and that became incorrect when I grew the array. So I removed everything except the UID and the name. All the other information mdadm can glean from the devices themselves. The UID won't change unless you completely obliterate the array. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
