still the same md issue (do_md_run returns -22=EINVAL) as in -rc6-mm1 reported 
by Thorsten here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/27/45

Is there around any fix for this?

Having 0.90 raid 0 and 1, commenting this out helps:

        }

The persistency is marked even in analyze_sbs->validate_super, I guess?
