Just use --auto or --auto=yes and it should take care of the device node 
  creations. I have a /etc/mdadm.conf so I just do:
mdadm -As --auto=yes and it brings everything up over udev.

Although if you want to use the scan option with auto you may want to 
use mdadm 1.12.0 or later as on some of the earlier version the 
combination doesn't work.
