When continuing a grow the user shouldn't need to specify which subarray needs to be continued. That information is in the metadata. So use just says "--grow --continue" and mdadm looks at the container to see which arrays are in the middle of a reshape and continues those. If one of them is such that the next array must be reshaped when this one completes, that should just happen automatically too. ?? NeilBrown
