Sorry, I've noticed that I've looked into the wrong place all the long.
md2 is fine. I suppose it's a problem with md0 (all mdraid are assembled
at the beginning). Since md0 is raid1, its misassembly wouldn't have any
influence (we don't write to devices). mdstat lists both md0 and md1 as
having no duplicate indices. I would need info on md0 for this (now
minor) remaining bug.
