As far as I understand, the "Personalities" line just shows what RAID
capabilities are compiled into the kernel (and loaded, if modules). For
example, even though I'm only using raid0, I have:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid0 sdc[0] sdb[1]
976772992 blocks 64k chunks
unused devices: <none>
