Compared to the trouble people get into when getting --create
--assume-clean and getting it wrong, I'd say --force is *nothing*.

--force needs drives that have similar event count, if they're too far
apart (one drive for instance), then that specific drive shouldn't be
used when assembling.


To the point I've been ready to submit a patch for --assume-clean along the lines of what hdparm does and makes you also attach --please-destroy-my-disk before it'll work.

--assume-clean is great for those that need it, but for the great majority who rely on google and wikis it's a data-destroyer.

Not mdadm's fault however. More the twits who wrote the wikis.
