Sadly, I had to disassemble this array and get something workable that
didn't become unassembled on every restart. I did try sticking all
drives on the same AHCI controller, which caused the array to be
resynced on every restart instead of disassembled.
I suspect this issue is caused by bcache (I'm using the md as a backing
device for bcache.) The bcache maintainer states "get the md people or
someone to explain _what_ they want whatever has their device open to do
on reboot."
I'm going to setup a test environment and see if I can reproduce it again.
