Hello. Is it safe to mix mdadm versions in the following scenario? openSUSE 12.1 comes with mdadm 3.2.2 (and kernel 3.1), which works fine except that I am hit by the re-add bug: I removed a partition (after "mdadm --manage --set-faulty ...") from a perfectly working /dev/md1, but re-adding with "mdadm /dev/md1 -a ..." fails. Reading the mailing list and the Changelog, I understand that this is fixed in mdadm 3.2.5. Hence, I compiled mdadm 3.2.5 from source. Now my question is: Can I safely use the resulting binary (renamed to mdadm325 to avoid confusion) to re-add the device and then continue to use the 3.2.2 package from openSUSE?
