mdadm spawns a copy of mdmon to perform these tasks. If the process
hierarchy is strictly enforced, and kills off spawned processes when
the highest parent dies, that's a problem for mdadm. I recall some
discussions about this with systemd and/or cgroups. You might want
to make sure all of your utilities have the latest fixes.
