[root@localhost raidtest]# echo test > junk/test -bash: junk/test: Read-only file system
so that's at least an indication that not all is well. The syslog contains:
May 16 22:49:31 localhost kernel: raid5: Disk failure on loop2, disabling device. Operation continuing on 3 devices
May 16 22:49:31 localhost kernel: RAID5 conf printout:

May 16 22:49:44 localhost kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only
May 16 22:50:14 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device md0, logical block 19
May 16 22:50:14 localhost kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on md0
So I guess I'm happy with that, remounting to read-only seems smart, that way the disks aren't messed up more.
Now I added the disks back with
mdadm --add /dev/loop0 mdadm --add /dev/loop2
and the (actual hard-) drive started chugging, the md0_raid5 process is sucking cpu and I don't know what it's trying to do... the system has become unresponsive, but the drive is still ticking. Is hot-adding the drives back in a bad thing to do?
This is educational, at least... :-)

My guess is it will not change state until it needs to access a disk. So, try some writes!
