In assemble_container_content () one of the first command for reshape case is: if (content->reshape_active) block_subarray(content); This means that call block_monitor () will produce error message while array is frozen. I think, that in fact for reshape continue case block_monitor () should skip frozen arrays and freeze all other /not frozen yet/. I've got the following change in my sent Q (this will replace suppressing error message patch): instead: if (sra->text_version[0] == '-') break; I think should be: if (sra->text_version[0] == '-') { if (restart) continue; else break; } This will freeze whole container during reshape continuation (just like for reshape start). A few more fixes for freezing are in my Q also. I'll send them soon. > > When we restart a reshape the array should not be frozen should it?

This patch is independent to 'initrd' problem, but I think about it.
