RE: Please help with a special RAID 1 setup

["Cress, Andrew R" <andrew.r.cress@intel.com>]

Note that RAID-1 will only ever have a maximum of 2 active disks.
When you add the 3rd disk, it is added to the array as a spare, that's
why it doesn't rebuild.

I think you must rebuid the /dec/md0 with mkraid --upgrade.
Warning! You may destroy all data, so backup first.
