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.

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