On systemd based systems, mdadm-raid script should not be used at
all... I believe it is currently possible to end up in such a
situation and I am working on fixing this and other problems related
to udev/initramfs/systemd/sysvinit integration of mdadm in debian
currently.

Dimitri.

Bug#829621: mdadm sends spurious "Fail event" messages on shutdown

[Gábor Gombás]

Package: mdadm
Version: 3.4-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

/lib/systemd/system/mdmonitor.service does not kill the monitoring
daemon on shutdown, which results in spurious "Fail event" mails
being sent while the arrays are being stopped by "/etc/init.d/mdadm-raid
stop".
