It seems that not everyone knows that the initramfs keeps its own copy of mdadm.conf and thus you often need to run update-initramfs after editing /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf. I think a comment in the file would help with that. The mdadm.conf(5) man page doesn't appear to mention it either. Not being aware of this breaks people's systems, e.g.,: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/359952/md-raid-fails-on-first-boot-of-the-day https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/210416/new-raid-array-will-not-auto-assemble-leads-to-boot-problems https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/165959/degraded-raid1-array-boots-with-one-drive-not-with-the-other (possibly) https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/23879/using-mdadm-examine-to-write-mdadm-conf (RHEL)
