I have now straced this, and here are the offending lines:

ioctl(4, 0x40140921, 0x7fff4bda3858)    = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "mdadm: failed to add /dev/sde2 t"..., 62mdadm: failed to add
/dev/sde2 to /dev/md0: Invalid argument.

fd 4 is /dev/md0

How does one decode the ioctl call?

Thanks, Jan
