I'm curious as to why 2 complete dd'd copies don't pair at boot. One comes up running and it does work to mdadm --add the partner partitions and after the resync they do automatically pair at boot.
Are they dd copies of the different nodes (IE.. dd copy of sda paired with dd copy of sdb)?
No - what was sda was dd'd twice with the dups put in sda and sdb.
That is why it didn't work. The superblock knows which drive it was on, and knows if there are dupes.
