Sigh, I take it 00.90.00 isn't sufficient? On the face of it writing such
a conversion utility shouldn't be /too/ difficult, there that much to
change?
Having looked at it, since the devices have an indicator for where they
are in the array (dev 0-nnn), that is also a good sanity test. In the
case of a multiple detection of an array member never add the drive by
default.

The hardware transition might be a good time...
