Kernel version 3.17.8 and mdadm version 3.3.2.
There have been many bug fixes to mdadm since that kernel was retired.
Really? I will give that a shot.
Show us the output of that if it doesn't work (it should resume your
reshape).
I will try that.
It was totally stupid reshape, I was changing the "data-offset" to
align it. Really unnecessary, and really slow, so I feel like an idiot
for starting it.

Thanks for any help. If I lose this array, I am going to face a lot of grief...
I shouldn't have to say this, but RAID is for availability, not for data
security. You still need a backup system for any important data.
Sure. The really vital (and small) stuff I have backed up elsewhere,
but the sheer volume of raw video my girlfriend records is not
economically feasible to backup beyond raid+btrfs snapshots.
