Hi again, all --

% Can I create loopback devices pointing to the image files, which will

Apparently that's a "no":
diskfarm:/mnt/10Traid50md/tmp # losetup -r /dev/loop10 `pwd`/4Tsda1*
diskfarm:/mnt/10Traid50md/tmp # losetup -r /dev/loop11 `pwd`/4Tsdb1*
diskfarm:/mnt/10Traid50md/tmp # losetup -r /dev/loop12 `pwd`/4Tsdc1*
diskfarm:/mnt/10Traid50md/tmp # losetup -a | grep 4T
/dev/loop11: [66326]:1054 (/mnt/10Traid50md/tmp/4Tsdb1.5YD9.dd-bs=256M-conv=sparse,noerror)
/dev/loop12: [66326]:1055 (/mnt/10Traid50md/tmp/4Tsdc1.5ZY3.dd-bs=256M-conv=sparse,noerror)
/dev/loop10: [66326]:1028 (/mnt/10Traid50md/tmp/4Tsda1.EYNA.dd-bs=256M-conv=sparse,noerror)
# hey ... i did those manually and in order! *sigh*
diskfarm:/mnt/10Traid50md/tmp # mdadm --assemble /dev/md4 /dev/loop1{0,1,2}
mdadm: /dev/loop10 is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/loop11 is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/loop12 is busy - skipping
Scratch that idea ...
:-D
