Hello! I have raid1 array built of 2 disks. One of drives failed, so i've removed it and inserted another one. Old disk was /dev/sdc, new one detected as /dev/sde, I've added it into array, recovery begun and everything is fine except i can't remove the old one: root@srv15:~# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md3 : active raid1 sde3[2] sdd3[0] sdc3[3](F) 290720192 blocks [2/1] [U_] [=>...................] recovery = 5.9% (17269760/290720192) finish=1229.9min speed=3703K/sec md2 : active raid1 sda3[0] sdb3[1] 290720192 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 sdb2[0] sda2[1] 1951808 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sda1[1] 289024 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> root@srv15:~# cat /proc/partitions |grep sdc root@srv15:~# mdadm /dev/md3 -r /dev/sdc3 mdadm: cannot find /dev/sdc3: No such file or directory Didn't find anything in man about such case.
