This is a bug in raidstop. If you strace you will notice that it opens it twice and before trying to ioctl(STOP...) it. Upgrade raidtools or use mdadm. And a quick and dirty: mv /dev/md0 /dev/mdx mv /dev/md1 /dev/md0 mv /dev/mdx /dev/md0 raidstop /dev/md1 mv /dev/md0 /dev/mdx mv /dev/md1 /dev/md0 mv /dev/mdx /dev/md0 should work.
