I can't help much here, nothing to compare.

No idea - just trying to help as it sounded similar to what I've experienced. However in your case the "--write-journal=/dev/sde1" seems to cause the issue. According the docs [1,2] I overflew it is used only when creating an array. [3] says explicitly create, build or grow. For manage you should use --add-journal regards [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/665299/ [2] 2016_vault_write_journal_cache_v2.pdf [3] https://man.cx/mdadm(8)
