Hi Matt, I'm by no means a specialist, but I have been saving a few arrays lately, so here's my 2 cents. From what I see, I'd say you're almost there, but you didn't use "--bitmap=none" in your create-statement and as far as I can see, there is no bitmap specified in the original raid blocks but there is one in the newly created one. I may be wrong though!, please take my advice with a grain of salt and at your own risk. Also, I would not have dared to run all these statements on "live" (or dead, for that matter ;-) disks. See my posting (that is unfinished, but I'll add info as I have time) at http://valentijn.sessink.nl/?p=557 where I use "dmsetup" to create a few virtual disks - all writes are redirected to another device. Fun thing is, that after that, you can mess up all you want. You just remove the virtual disk and poof, everything is as it was before (failed raid and all, isn't that funny? :) I hope this helps.
