 So yeah... that isn't gonna work.
 


Work-around is to add --no-sharing option to --oneshot.
i.e.

  mdadm --monitor --scan --oneshot --no-sharing

Fix is to apply this patch which effectively does the same thing.

diff --git a/mdadm.c b/mdadm.c
index 4b817ab..1533510 100644
--- a/mdadm.c
+++ b/mdadm.c
@@ -841,6 +841,7 @@ int main(int argc, char *argv[])
continue;
case O(MONITOR,'1'): /* oneshot */
oneshot = 1;
+   spare_sharing = 0;
continue;
case O(MONITOR,'t'): /* test */
test = 1;

This will be in mdadm upstream in the next 24hours.

Thanks for the report.
