I've not had much time to look any further at this, and I haven't proposed my patch as a fix yet because I don't know if it is the right way to fix it. What I need to do really is send this bug report upstream, and also have a play around with a mdraid setup myself, but I don't have a clue how to

Mobrien118, I agree that there should be some consideration of its importance. Maybe it isn't that big of a deal since few people have raid sets on their computers. It cost me several hours of rebooting and googling before I thought to boot into recovery console, install openssh and then log in
