Hi,
I debugged my problem a bit more: it seems that mdadm creates a defect
superblock. That's repeatedly happening, but only for one drive. I
copied zeros to that drive (via ddrescue /dev/zero ...) and the drive
looks OK. The info I got:
=================================================================================================================================================================================================

mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/sde1 as 4: Invalid argument
