SubjectRe: mdadm regression tests fail
From
Bear in mind raid superblock v0.9 is deprecated as in "if it breaks it 
won't be fixed for you".

So I would skip this test, and if you're mentioning raid in the
handbook, tell people they need to use one of the v1.x formats.

(NB - you can always point them at the linux raid wiki.)

Cheers,
Wol
