I'd think that, but he's still not put out the /proc/mdstat I asked for
multiple times, and the dmesg output he showed didn't have hdl involved
in md0 at all.  I don't honestly believe hdl, if it even exists, is even
remotely involved in s/w raid.  I don't see dmesg output that reports
an hdl (/dev entries not affecting the kernel, obviously), either.
