This is how I *remove* the nbd device: mdadm /dev/md11 --fail /dev/nbd0 sleep 3 mdadm /dev/md11 --remove /dev/nbd0 and then finally nbd-client -d /dev/nbd0 If necessary, I can try to simulate the problem by using a local logical volume or some such. -- Jon -- 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
