Takeover raid1->raid0 not succeded. Kernel message is shown: "md/raid0:md126: too few disks (1 of 2) - aborting!" After takeover process we have only one active disk (rest of raid1's disks have been removed before takeover) mddev->raid_disks stores initial number of disks so comparing mddev->raid_disks with "cnt" calculated in create_strip_zones() returns error. Patch introduces fix for this- skip comparing number of disk if takeover is detected.
