After it booted, I checked cat /proc/mdstat and /dev/md1 (md125) on Arch is active and re-syncing. Perfect. That was a whole lot of work to find out that it was an old mdadm causing all the problems -- live and learn... Perhaps we should add "get the latest release of mdadm" to the Raid Recovery page with the explanation that sometimes older versions of mdadm just do not know how to handle simple issues that arise, such as differing Event counts. Using the latest mdadm can solve those problems immediately. - -- David C.
