Well, at least the output should change, i.e., /proc/mdstat should be included.
Would you mind sending that format.log?

But well, I suppose you are rebooting the system for each run, so we can't have
any old processes hanging around. Then it *must* be the RAID doing stupid
things. May I ask you to perform the following changes?

- comment out the line in /usr/sbin/setup-storage that does the mdadm-startall
  call.
- comment out the push_command("mdadm --assemble --scan ... around lines 293/294
  in Commands.pm.
- replace the mdadm --stop stuff that I had asked you to hack by a simple
  "true".

Would that then work out? If so, it's definitively the RAID that is clobbering
/dev/sdb, but I have no idea why we don't get it released.

Thanks a lot,
Michael
