Yep, that worked, thank you! No more complaints from grub-probe.
Do you consider it a bug that mdadm does not zero the old metadata
when upgrading it to a new version?
Or do you consider it a documentation issue to explain that it may
be necessary to manually do it?
I think I would've liked grub-probe at least in verbose mode to say
which version of metadata it was reading from where. That would've
been immediately enlightening, so I'll see if they would accept a
patch for that…
Cheers,
Andy
