If hot adding a disk not as spare but at the same slot, the disk isn't added correctly in the pers and it is possible to cause a kernel panic/oops due to the invalid pointer to the old rdev in the pers. So hot remove the disk from the personality before removing it from the array. Tested with raid1.
