I think "error" is too strong a word. It is more a problem of just
going too slow. Take a look at the time stamps. In the "error" case,
it takes it nearly 5 minutes to get the raid array assembled and
going. For some reason, adding the last disk to a partially assembled
raid is getting delayed long after the disc pops into existence.
