This oops happens in create_strip_zones at

		sector_div(sectors, mddev->chunk_sectors);

correct?

But what if the RAID1 is not a multiple of 64K ?  Then you will lose
data.

We probably want the same thing we have in RAID5:



	chunksect = 64*2; /* 64K by default */

	/* The array must be an exact multiple of chunksize */
	while (chunksect && (mddev->array_sectors & (chunksect-1)))
		chunksect >>= 1;

	if ((chunksect<<9) < STRIPE_SIZE)
		/* array size does not allow a suitable chunk size */
		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);


??

Do you want to make a patch, or shall I?

Ofcouse, RAID0 have have non-power-of-2 chunk sizes, so we could just hunt
for a small factor... probably not worth it though.
