Reshape needs to specify a backup file when it can't update data offset of member disks. For this situation, first, it starts reshape and then it kicks off mdadm-grow-continue service which does backup job and monitors the reshape process. The service is a new process, so it needs to read superblock from member disks to get information. But in the first step, it doesn't update new level in superblock. So it can't change level after reshape finishes, because the new level is not right. So records the new level in the first step.
