notice ... level 1 and number of devices

not good ...

you only use "-C" the first time

you should NOT have to specify /dev/xxxx stuff
since you created /etc/mtab and/or put it in the right
location that mdadm will find it

you should be using:

	mdadm create
	mdadm assemble
	mdadm stop
	mdadm start
	mdadm examine
	.. etc ..
