Patch adds to mdadm man the following information: --continue This option is complementary pair to assembly --freeze-reshape option. It is needed when --grow operation is interrupted and it is not restarted automatically due to --freeze-reshape usage during array assembly. Option --continue has to be used together with -G , ( --grow ) command and device that it should be executed on. All parameters required for reshape continuation will be read from array metadata. If initial --grow command had required --backup-file= option to be set, continuation option will require to have exactly the same backup file pointed to also. Any other parameter passed together with --continue option will be ignored.
