I have 9211 (for about 9 months). Had to flash IT firmware. It is a bit
slow in enumerrating attached disks and sometimes kernel misses a disk
or two at boot up that shows up afterwards. This kind of messes up md.
I suspect this is more of the problem with ubuntu 14.04 I have, rather
than md or 9211 problem. However, simple re-add fixes it. Since upgrade
to newer version is a problem for me, I am just dealing with it. So, you
may not even have this problem.
