It might be superfluous, but looks like you should be able to to stop the resync/repair by using: echo idle > md/sync_action In any case you need to fail the drive, if it hasn't already been rejected again, and remove the drive from the array. mdadm /dev/md1 --fail /dev/sdg mdadm /dev/md1 --remove /dev/sdg Replace the drive - i.e. physically remove the bad one, and replace it with a good one. You'll need to find out what its designation is to add it: mdadm /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdX You should start getting a resync right away.
