Michael, thank you for your advice. The only place where I saw mdadm is being called on boot is via /etc/init.d/mdadm, which starts mdadm with --monitor --scan options. Still I disabled the daemon start (in /etc/default/mdadm), but inactive raid keeps reappearing on boot. How can I find out who else might be calling mdadm on boot? Thanks, Alex.
