All other arrays are [0][1]. What concerns me is the information at: /proc/mdstat doesn't show role numbers. It shows slot numbers. Slot numbers are the indices into the role number tracking tables in the superblock. They happen to match role numbers on a freshly-created array simply because the slots are allocated starting from zero, just like the roles. As you add and remove devices, the slot numbers and role numbers may no longer match.
