Bug Description
The logic that partman-auto-raid uses in raid-autocfg to fetch the current RAID device number(if any), greps for 'active' in /proc/mdstat. In scenarios where an inactive raid exists due to one of the disks(being reused), this greps the entire inactive raid string. As a result, instead of returning the mdraid device number, it fetches the string "md127 : inactive sdj[2](s)" and tries to append it to "/dev/md" and fails creating the requested RAID device.
