I'm in agreement that something is odd about the disk numbers here, and 
I'm suspicious because I have never seen this with 0.90 superblocks. 
That doesn't mean it couldn't happen and I never noticed, it's certainly 
odd that four drives wouldn't be numbered 0..3, in raid5 they are all 
equally out of sync.
