Had som "holiday-fun" with my debian-server and installed the Trusty14.04 alfa (is qurious about the clouds).
Sadly the same bug bit me, albeit on some old lazy 250G disks. my OCZ revodriveX2 is apparently still fast enough to not lose out in this racecondition.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/872220, 917520 seems related,
found som excellent reading on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReliableRaid which sadly is four years old.
Reinstalld debian 6 just to try and it has not the same behaviour = softraid on the same disks works.

My earlier experiences of RAID quirks is limited to SCSI and "real" RAID-adapters so this was a chanse to read up on some good documentation. And see again that "when you fix what isn't broken you get a lot of "new" work".

Yes I'm old ;)
