One more remark: You are probably better off for now by doing operations
like re-adding diks in your system's BIOS RAID setup tool. The reason is
that we can't be sure yet that the structures we set up are correctly
understood by the BIOS - you may successfully add the disk with mdadm,
but at the next boot the BIOS may not understand the data and break it
again.
For IMSM we were in the lucky situation that the BIOS vendor himself
provided the code. For DDF, figuring this out is a cumbersome
trial-and-error process.
