Probably. Others have fixed this by disabling selinux for the reshape. Don't forget to specify --backup-file again on the command line. (I don't use selinux myself, so I can't be more specific.) In the future, consider not using a backup file at all -- mdadm generally leaves enough dead space on devices to avoid the need. > Is the broken backup file going to be a problem? Shouldn't be. Report back if it is.
