0 7 2 0 active sync /dev/loop2
1 7 0 1 active sync /dev/loop0
2 7 1 2 active sync /dev/loop1
3 7 3 3 active sync /dev/loop3
pari:/mnt/debian# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -f /dev/loop2
mdadm: set /dev/loop2 faulty in /dev/md0
pari:/mnt/debian# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -f /dev/loop0
mdadm: set /dev/loop0 faulty in /dev/md0
