+Note: Auto assembly cannot be used for assembling and activating some
+arrays which are undergoing reshape. In particular as the

+cannot be given, any reshape which requires a backup-file to continue
+cannot be started by auto assembly. An array which is growing to more
+devices and has passed the critical section can be assembled using
+auto-assembly.
