In Comment #3, I noted that it was mysterious that we were seeing this
at all on the reported system - but, after staring at the log, I think
I've an explanation for that now.

This system is supposed to be configured to have 8 identical NVMe drives
in a raid0 mounted at /raid. There are also 2 other NVMes in this system
which are supposed to have partitions configured in a raid1 for /. At
least, that is what was *supposed* to be the case.

A filtered version of the log in comment #1 shows:
[   16.757165] md/raid0:md0: cannot assemble multi-zone RAID0 with 
default_layout setting
[   16.757165] md/raid0: please set raid.default_layout to 1 or 2
[   16.757166] md: pers->run() failed ...
[   19.051379] md1: detected capacity change from 0 to 30724962910208
[   72.720232] md/raid0:md0: cannot assemble multi-zone RAID0 with 
default_layout setting
[   72.728149] md/raid0: please set raid.default_layout to 1 or 2
[   72.733979] md: pers->run() failed ...

While not explicit, we see that md1 is ginormous - matching the capacity
we'd expect for the 8 drive raid0 that's supposed to be mounted at
/raid. However, the md/raid0 driver is actually complaining about md*0*.
I'm guessing that md0 is the array of 2 partitions that was supposed to
be a raid1 mounted at /, but was misconfigured as a raid0. And it
therefore makes sense that it is a multi-zone array, as we see that only
one NVMe seems to be partitioned:

[   16.541847]  nvme1n1: p1 p2

Presumably nvme1n1p1 is used as the EFI System Partition, and presumably
nvme1n1p2 was combined with the full nvme0 block device to form a
heterogenous raid0, which would therefore be multi-zone.
