Continue creating array? y
mdadm: SET_ARRAY_INFO failed for /dev/md4: Device or resource busy
As you can see I have 4 drive. I am trying to crate raid1 arrays using
these drives. obviously its not working. the suggestions I've found to
correct the mdadm error have said to build the array in init 1. this has
not worked for me either. all 5 md devices give this error. I have tried
to force the array as well as building it with missing devices. none of
witch have worked. can anyone help with getting these arrays working?
thank for any assistance
