Hi Guys. Are there any resident mdadm experts that can help me out?
I am getting these ridiculous output after I create a new raid 5 array.
This is the command I used along with the output of the creation..

What the hell! I've been trying to build this damn thing for 20 hours now and I keep getting all these weird kinds of errors. I figure its about time that looked for some professional help.
