This is important. When I computed the sector count for the linear mapping, I just took 2048 off the end. You may want to select a sector count that aligns the endpoint.

If the md array is assembled with devices out of order, the initialization vectors for all the sectors are likely to be wrong, with no way to examine the contents to try to work out the device order. Of course, I don't know of any way mdadm can screw up the device order with v1+ metadata.

So that's not it.

Sorry I couldn't help more.
