Hi miaoguanqin,

Could you please share command used to create? If you are using:
#mdadm --create /dev/mdX

Then it is know issue (at least for me). Please use:
#mdadm --create /dev/md/X

I know that the interface is not consistent but I don't see you solution are
good fix. The create_mddev() is over complicated. Did you run this test:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git/tree/tests/00createnames

I think that it didn't passed- so we could have a regression.

BTW. I believe that "miaoguanqin" it is your real name, why lowercase?

Thanks,
Mariusz
