Which version of mdadm are you using? I have 3.0, and defalut metadata |
| 15 |
is 0.90: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
-e , --metadata= |
| 18 |
Declare the style of RAID metadata (superblock) to be used. The |
| 19 |
default is 0.90 for --create, and to guess for other operations. |
| 20 |
The default can be overridden by setting the metadata value for |
| 21 |
the CREATE keyword in mdadm.conf. |

BTW [1] says about kernel 2.6.9, things might have changed since then... |
