What is in your mdadm.conf? Usually found in either /etc/ or in /etc/mdadm/

Created with /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf:

HOMEHOST <system>
MAILADDR root
ARRAY /dev/md/test  metadata=1.2 UUID=d59de5cc:02f560ed:ebcb9400:491955d7 name=debian:test
    spares=1

The "spares=1" is for the journal device. The "mdadm --examine --scan" 
command produced that for me as well but since it seemed odd I deleted 
that part. Since there isn't actually a spare it seems incorrect. I've 
never tried to boot with "spares=1" so I don't know if removing it will 
make any difference.
