okay so long story short, you only want the mdadm.conf updating in AIF.
there's a catch about your proposal though:
- it's hard to parse fstab
- you would only know the blockdevices after user configured fstab,
  which is after prefill_config (note the *pre* fill part. this stuff
  is supposed to happen so that the user can change the config
  manually after it)

is it not an option to just look at all blockdevices?
for example, what do you have in /proc/partitions on your raid system?
