###################################################################
here we go:
this is a raid 1 (/dev/md3) with 2 8TB disks (/dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1) with
original superblock 0.90
after
mdadm -A --update=metadata /dev/md3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
the size has shrinked and the filesystem no longer working.
Starting with -e 0 and the raid can be used with 4TB, but no metadate update
possible any more
