[Clint Byrum]

** Description changed:

+ [TEST CASE]
+ (culled from Debian bug report)
+ Assuming /dev/vdb and /dev/vdc are blank devices (BE CAREFUL!):
+ 
+ 
+ # dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=100 of=/dev/vdb
+ # dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=100 of=/dev/vdc
+ # mdadm -C -l 1 -n 2 -e 1 --assume-clean /dev/md0 /dev/vdb /dev/vdc
+ mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.
