FWIW, we confirmed that it appears to be the old RAID1 data it was
finding - when the partition is below half the size it didn't find it
in the partition, when resized just beyond half the size (of the RAID0
md drive), it then started finding it in the partition.

Also, was Cisco's information useful for why their cisco server (using
lsi)  RAID5 won't assembly?  Do you think the patch deals with that as
well?

You did say something about Cisco in the original post but it wasn't at all
clear what you were asking or what the context was.

Could you please spell it all out.  You said something about dmraid reporting
something.  Showing the output of dmraid in that case wouldn't hurt.
And show the output of "mdadm --examine /dev/device" for any relevant device
is often a good idea.
