I had by sure to recreate the degraded array some times because of going 
down while reading from defective sectors.
I'm not sure if always I set array to readonly (because I was quite in 
panic) ... but I'd guess I did.
I'll try to look into the code.

This has been my first bad experience with raid, I never had to go deep 
inside maintenance mode or to look into source code .. but I had to 
learn fast ;-)

Cordiali saluti.
