This is correct in that the spare should be removed from the array as there

I agree that MD is doing the right thing in stopping the sync, since
there is nothing else that can be done. What it should say in the kernel
log in this case (in my opinion anyway) is something like:
raid10: Disk failure on sda, sync stopped, sdb marked faulty.
instead of:
raid10: Disk failure on sdb, disabling device.
only because /dev/sdb did not actually fail! I agree this is not
terribly important, I was reporting only for correctness, and I know
you're busy :).
Many thanks,
Iordan
