why don't you add "-b internal" to the mdadm --create command line?-dean
Valid question!One - I apparently made a blunder of the syntax and kept including -G out of habit when I formed the create line, and didn't pay attention to the error in my logs. D'oh.
Two - After realizing the mistake, I find there are a few bugs in doing this. Posting a separate new thread for this.
