bingo! you are correct about my mdadm.conf. I haven't tried the patch
yet, but that must indeed be the problem as I have specified level=5
and similar instead of level=raid5. I will fix up my mdadm.conf. I'll
leave my two files up for a day or so incase you want to look at
them.
and i'll try the patch before I fix up the mdadm.conf... report back
soon.
