I'll give the updated mdadm binary a try. It certainly looks plausible that this was a recently fixed mdadm bug. For the record, I think you typoed this below. You meant to say v2.6.4, rather than v2.4.4. My current version was v2.6.3. The current mdadm version appears to be v2.6.4, and Debian currently has a -2 release. My system is Debian unstable, just as FYI. It's been since January 2008 since v2.6.4-1 was released, so I guess I've not updated this package since then. Here is the changelog for mdadm; http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/ChangeLog Specifically; "Fix restarting of a 'reshape' if it was stopped in the middle." That sounds like my problem. I will try this here in an hour or two and see what happens...
