I don't know about 2.6, (still living with 2.4) but can't you simply do: raidhotremove /dev/mdX /dev/hdYZ followed by raidhotadd /dev/mdX /dev/hdYZ or /dev/sdYZ if SCSI disks... However, picking the right disk to remove might be tricky... And if you were at all unsure about data on the disks, maybe rebooting and doing a hard fsck of the partition(s) in maintenance mode might be a good thing too...
