The kernel complains about invalid metadata, so that may well stop you
from rebuilding your 4.4-softraid array on 4.6. If memory serves me,
the format did change in the past. You could try checking old
revisions of current.html to see if that's the case (or have someone
more knowledgeable confirm it).

Unlikely, it describes RAIDframe. It describes OpenBSD, reality of
about 5 to 6 years ago. That document mentions raidctl(8), for
instance.

I presume your example is a copy-paste without editing and you're
still using the USB pens. Given the metadata complaints in dmesg,
zeroing out the underlying drive chunks may help. That said, it's just
guesswork on my part.
