Thing is, the root filesystem is initially mounted read-only, after that
perhaps fsck is executed if needed, and only a bit later it is remounted
read-write. You need to check at which point in this process your distro's
boot scripts initialize md arrays, and whether or not you will end up trying
to do that with their bitmaps on a read-only FS.
