/proc/mdstat doesn't show role numbers. It shows slot numbers. Slot
numbers are the indices into the role number tracking tables in the
superblock. They happen to match role numbers on a freshly-created
array simply because the slots are allocated starting from zero, just
like the roles. As you add and remove devices, the slot numbers and
role numbers may no longer match.
