Re: mdadm stuck at 0% reshape after grow

A well known reason for this behavior are bad blocks in device's BBL, which you happen to have:

This feature generally shouldn't be used, because its implementation is unfinished. Empty BBL's can be removed from every device by giving "--update=no-bbl" option to mdadm on assemble, but before that you must manually regenerate content for each block in BBL's and then manually zero the lists in superblocks.
