When I unplug that drive, /dev/sda is removed, hotplug seems to work to the point where proc/mdstat shows the drive failed, but not removed. Replugging shows the drive re-appearing as /dev/sde It seems hot unplug does not remove a drive from an md array. Is this intentional?

Your userspace should probably take care of removing the failed device. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
