Oleksandr,
Can you post your dmesg output when running the commands?
I've back down from 5.11 to 5.8 and I still see:
[ +0.042694] md/raid0:md126: raid5 must have missing parity disk!
[ +0.000001] md: md126: raid0 would not accept array
Thanks, Nigel
Hello Nigel,
I've switched to 4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64 kernel (I have RHEL8.3) and I still
have the same results, issue is still easily reproducible when patch
4ae96c8 is applied.
Cropped test logs with and w/o your patch:

Do you need more detailed logs? My system/drives configuration details?

Subject: [PATCH] mdadm: fix growing containers
This fixes growing containers which was broken with
commit 4ae96c802203ec3c (mdadm: fix reshape from RAID5 to RAID6 with
backup file)
The issue being that containers use the function
wait_for_reshape_isms and expect a number value and not a
string value of "max". The change is to test for external
before setting the correct value.

I was about to revert the problematic patch. Oleksandr, can you confirm
if it resolves the issues you were seeing?
Thanks,
Jes
Hi Jes,
Yes, I can confirm that the issue has been resolved with this patch.
Thanks,
Oleksandr Shchirskyi
