Do you really need to change the set_name of an active array?
The name is only used when the array is actived, so wait until the next
time the array is stopped, and change the name then.
You can boot with a rescue CD or similar and use "--assemble
--update=name", or with a bit of effort you could get the normal boot
sequence to change the name.
I wouldn't object to adding something to mdadm so that it would read
something from mdadm.conf, and update the set name at boot time.
What is the underlying problem that you are trying to solve here?
Thanks,
