Thanks a lot for bringing this up, I wasn't aware of the fact that people were troubled by this behaviour. Although I'd claim that setup-storage is actually rather naive than smart in this regard - it just uses mdadm in the almost simplest possible way - I'll try to figure out a fix for your problem. If you have an example configuration available and could send that along, that would be much appreciated. Best regards, Michael
