Salut Gaillaume,

I've finally started to work on mdadm support, in fact I've just send a
patch with explanations to #325877. (My main objective is to get this
into upstream, so I have to retain raidtools2 support.) Sorry it took so
long!

I do have two questions though, and it would be great if you could
answer them:

First, I noticed your patch explicitly zeroes the superblock in a
separate step before creating the RAID arrays. I have found that 'mdadm
--create --force --run' will ignore existing superblocks. Am I missing
anything here?

Second, you provide scripting for updating the uuid in intird images. I
can restore and on reboot the RAID arrays are started automatically
(using a stock 2.6.16 kernel), which is what I would expect. What is the
uuid update needed for?

Best regards & thanks a lot,
Andree
