Hi,

Are there any messages in the logs, or dmesg output after the stuff
you showed?  Can you maybe 'strace' the mdadm process, or even go grab
the latest version using git from:

  git clone git://neil.brown.name/mdadm

I had a similar issue and tried to set up a reproduction in a virtual
machine - but then after trying to retry the reproduction after a
success I failed, constantly.

So I'm wondering is there some particular patch in that tree that might
affect this behavior? I'm using the mdadm 3.4 from Debian Unstable. I
would rather avoid converting my non-test array before I get some
confidence it won't stop in the middle :).

Thanks for insight,
