I do not know for sure right now. I would say that the kernel thinks it
is doing something sensible. That the array is already present in some
sense and it is rejecting the later degraded rebuild. The changes in
the space look to point to a new way of handing these where they go away
automatically. It is possible we have userspace/kernel skew rather than
any specific error on either side.
