While it probably doesn't have anything to do with your problem, you don't
want to reformat array elements. That should be done on the array itself.
In some modes when you add a failed array back in, it detects that it was
recently removed from the array and some shortcuts are taking with
resyncing. That could mess things up.
If you really wanted to clean out the array in the event some data on the
partition is causing a problem, copy from /dev/zero to /dev/sdb4 using dd.
That might also help if you are getting bad reads from a block. (And make
sure the array element, /dev/sdb4, has been failed out of the array before
starting this.)
