Hi John,
I had to do the same some months ago. It turned out that it didn't worked,
and there was a thread about this here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-raid&m=111851721408698&w=2
I will be more than happy to know that it does work for you now with recent
kernels, but at that time there was still a lot of work to do.
