Sorry in advance for the long email :)
I had a RAID10 array set up using 4 WD 1TB caviar black drives (SATA3)
on 64 bit on a 2.6.36 kernel using mdadm 3.1.4. I noticed last night
that one drive had faulted out of the array. It had a bunch of errors
like so:

This seemed weird as the machine is only a week or two old. I powered
down to open it up and get the serial number off the drive fro an RMA.
I powered back up and mdadm had automatically removed the drive from
the RAID. Fine. The RAID had already been running on just 3 disks
since the 8th. For some reason, I thought to add the drive back into
the array to see if it failed out again thinking worst case scenario
I'm back to a degraded RAID10 again. So I added it back in and did an
mdadm --detail to check on it after a little while and found this:

It had faulted drive 0 also during the rebuild.

So the RAID ended up being marked "clean, FAILED." Gee, glad it is
clean at least ;). I'm wondering wtf went wrong and if it actually
makes sense that I had a double disk failure like that. I can't even
force it to assemble the raid anymore:
# mdadm --assemble --verbose --force /dev/md0
mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md0
mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sde1: Device or resource busy
mdadm: /dev/sde1 has wrong uuid.
mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdd1: Device or resource busy
mdadm: /dev/sdd1 has wrong uuid.
mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdc1: Device or resource busy
mdadm: /dev/sdc1 has wrong uuid.
mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdb1: Device or resource busy
mdadm: /dev/sdb1 has wrong uuid.
Am I totally SOL? Thanks for any suggestions or things to try.
