I have a SAS controller, which is slow to initialize. After startup, the array is assembled only partly. There are dmesg and mdstat. Kernel-level raid autodetect is disabled. The RAID5 array should consist of sd[f-m]. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 313779 [details] dmesg
Created attachment 313781 [details] /proc/mdstat
Created attachment 313783 [details] emerge --info mdadm
After startup I can disassemble those three arrays, and correctly assemble 8-disk array by simply 'mdadm -As'
sounds like bug 416081
