There's a workaround, you need to create the device in /dev using > mknod and then you can remove it with mdadm. In case the /dev/hdh5 device node is missing, mdadm will complain "No such file or directory" (ENOENT), instead of "No such device" (ENODEV). In this case, as I explained in my previous email, the arrays aren't running, and the error refers to manipulations (md ioctls) with existing /dev/md/2. It has nothing to do with udev. /mjt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
