Hello Neil,
Maybe if you tell us what commands you ran, we could explain what you
did?
Maybe you did

   mdadm -C /dev/bigdev -amd -l6 -n5 /dev/sd[a-e]

As the name "bigdev" doesn't look like "md%d", it will just choose an
unused number up around 127.

You were absolutely right, thank you. I was simply missing the device name when creating the array, something I usually do specify :)

It is a bit odd though that it picks an unused number that high, why doesn't it start from 0?

Thanks,
Marc
