Make that double-doh! So easy, yet so hidden. I'll request one little tweak/feature: can the man page be updated so that that option has the word "endian" somewhere in its description? I think most of us did as the first attempt at helping: man mdadm, search endian. When that failed, no one thought to search byteorder! Even google didn't fix that one, at least not for my web searches.
