the array if the personality supports it (raid1, raid5, raid6),
and if the component drives are large enough.
+ metadata_version
+ This indicates the format that is being used to record metadata
+ about the array. It can be 0.90 (traditional format), 1.0, 1.1,
+ 1.2 (newer format in varying locations) or "none" indicating that
+ the kernel isn't managing metadata at all.

As component devices are added to an md array, they appear in the 'md'
directory as new directories named
dev-XXX
