Personal experience: |

1) don't mix raidtools stuff with mdadm, use only the latter (I'm not |
| 10 |
saying you used raidtools, but I found a lot of misleading |
| 11 |
documentation lying around) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2) check carefully the UUID of *all* the partitions, I had exactly the |
| 14 |
same issue, that I discovered to be caused by a leftover partition that |
| 15 |
was part of a different raid set (spurious UUID). At some point in the |
| 16 |
bootup the correct set were disassembled. |
| 17 |
|

3) evms can badly intefere with mdadm (or it was LVM?): try to modify a |
| 19 |
partition/raid setup and it always appears busy, preventing any |
| 20 |
editing. |
