I reproduced it here. The problem is that mdmon isn't running. Simply
try running "mdmon /dev/md127", and the mount should proceed.

You'd avoid the problem by running "mdadm -IR /dev/sda" in the first place.

@Neil: This is unexpected, I think we need some code to start mdmon if
necessary in Manage_run. I considered coming up with a patch, but you
can do it much quicker, I think.
