After some testing the placement of the -a was important. when I put it after /dev/md12, similar to what Tim posted worked.
Thanks...Art
Despite what I wrote previously, yeah the order seems to be important. Its seems like as soon as they proccess the --auto|-a they immediately pick the name of the md device, instead of waiting till all of the CLI is proccessed to do this. So if you have the md device defined after the --auto, it will pick the first available, and if you have it defined before --auto, then it uses what you specified. Haven't looked at the code, but this seems the only way to explain why it matters which order.
