I forgot to mention that it only occurs if the drive is removed from the RAID5 set before it is 'synced' for the first time. Could it be the mddev->curr_resync or mddev->recovery_cp are handled wrong in this case? I saw the prints: .. Jun 23 12:26:10 172 kernel: md: checkpointing recovery of md3. .. Jun 23 12:26:15 172 kernel: md: resuming recovery of md3 from checkpoint. .. in the error situation, while there is no state to recover at all at that point (the array is incomplete/degraded).
