[clug] mdadm and disk images.

Hi there

What RAID level of the set where the image is from?

AFAIK mdadm writes some "magic" to the device that is used as part of a
raid set. I would suggest that, if possible you dd out that data to
another disk and then use that. Otherwise you wousl have to abstract that
disk image as a device (FUSE could help) for mdadm to use, so that mdadm
can read/write into it, as it re-establishes the raidset, even if you
later mount it read only...

Cheers
Tomasz
