I am confused. AFAIL, my patch bedbf68a first introduced subarray UUIDs
for DDF. I don't understand how this mdadm.conf could have worked with
mdadm 3.2.x.

But you are right, I had to make 7087f02b later that changed the way
subarray UUIDs were calculated. This would hurt people who created their
mdadm.conf file) with stock 3.3 and updated to latest git later.

I second that. David, please try it. I'd also appreciate "mdadm -E
/dev/sdX" output for all the RAID disks.
