OK, I'm up and running now. |

Using --metadata=0.90 when first creating the RAID was the solution. |

It seems that md0 is (I guess) there by default and then md3 gets |
| 43 |
created by the kernel extra command line stuff I guess: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
k2 ~ # ls /dev/md* |
| 46 |
/dev/md0 /dev/md3 |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
/dev/md: |
| 49 |
0 3 3_0 |
| 50 |
k2 ~ # |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
localhost ~ # df |
| 53 |
