Hi Petr,

That's kinda a hack on the md(4) code. The latest md device will spawn
a new one on every open(2) call. Thus, an open() on md0 will spawn
md1, open() on md1 will spawn md2 etc...

I guess hald is issuing an open on every device, including the latest
md. So you could just disable it from the kernel config file and
recompile as a workaround.

Cheers,
