I've solved this but I don't recall how.

Same here... FWIW my /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf contains the line
ARRAY /dev/md/1  metadata=1.2 UUID=67d3c233:96a0737c:5f88ed9b:936ea3ae name=snowball:1

and my array is indeed /dev/md1 (I've got *no* recollection why I didn't
make it md0!).

Is it possible you need to update your init ramdisk?  Maybe your changes
to your mdadm.conf aren't being seen?

Don't think it's anything to do with the config file:


root@debootstrap17:~# mdadm --examine --scan
ARRAY /dev/md/debootstrap17  metadata=1.2 UUID=5e7d0dca:9f579eef:afb81eec:b0060281 name=debootstrap17
ARRAY /dev/md/5  metadata=1.2 UUID=1cdac5e5:c9fcac40:5e738a68:0a650b23 name=test:5
ARRAY /dev/md/test5  metadata=1.2 UUID=46ced7db:4b422364:1938cce3:6561f99d name=test5

That's with no arrays defined in the config file.

After these commands:

dd if=/dev/zero of=mdadm.blk bs=1M count=50
losetup -f mdadm.blk
mdadm --create /dev/md/test:5 --metadata=1.2 --bitmap=internal --force --level=1 --raid-devices=1 /dev/loop0
mdadm --stop /dev/md/test\:5
dd if=/dev/zero of=mdadm2.blk bs=1M count=50
losetup -f mdadm2.blk
mdadm --create /dev/md/test5 --metadata=1.2 --bitmap=internal --force --level=1 --raid-devices=1 /dev/loop1
mdadm --stop /dev/md/test5
mdadm --examine --scan
