Hi Neil,
That is exactly the message I get in the kernel logs.
I tried ten times to assemble the array (waiting 2 seconds in between)
with no luck, but after 2-3 minutes it worked.

Hi,
After have stopped a raid1, I try to assemble it with one device and
its bitmap; but I received the following error message:
$mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md2003 --bitmap=/tmp/md2003bm
/dev/syntropy21/ian_dvol_200_0_1
mdadm: SET_BITMAP_FILE failed.
After 5 minutes I retry the command and it succeeds, assembling the
raid without any problems.
It looks like mdadm cannot use the file I specified for the external
bitmap, but this file is not in use by any other raid. Is there any
explanation on why assemble could fail to create the raid with the
specified bitmap?
If it failed once and then succeeded later it is most like that md
thought the file was already in use in some way.
If so there should be a message in the kernel logs saying something
like:
md2003: error: bitmap file is already in use
Was there such a message?

Thank you.
Juan.
