I haven't used redhat in a long,long time, and I don't recognise "lsraid"
as a command.

But, since nobody else seems to have piped up on the list...

Under debian, entries in /etc/raidtab (or /etc/raid/raidtab) are
sometimes required, depending on whether "persistent superblock" was
chosen or not.

Is it possible that the persistent superblocks are not being rewritten on
your raidhotadd?

Yours,
