It's a RAID5, but the problem also happends on RAID1.

There are 0xfd partitions with persistent superblock.

I don't use a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file, the raid is started during kernel
boot with raid autodetect. That's when the 'kicking non-fresh drive' print
occurs. When this happened 'mdadm --detail' will not display the kicked disk
in the list of array disks anymore, also the mdadm deamon only will get the
name of the array that's degraded, not the name of the kicked device :(
I made a script that runs after reboot as fix, it will hott-add the kicked
disks back to the array. It seems to fix the problem.

Bart
