Now, I want to add a device. It fails with: > flockmock ~ # mdadm -a /dev/md_d4 /dev/sdb2 > mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/sdb2 as 4: Invalid argument Thanks for the detailed problem report. I think the cause of the error is that /dev/sdb2 is too small. It needs to be at least 490030594 sectors. How big is it? Yes, both the kernel an mdadm should handle this case better. I have made a note to look into this.
