If so, unfortunately it did not help. I'd already tried 3.2.6, and I just tried Neil's git repo, and neither was successful in removing the failed device: # ~/mdadm/mdadm --version mdadm - v3.2.5 - 18th May 2012 # ~/mdadm/mdadm /dev/md127 --remove /dev/sdg mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/sdg: Device or resource busy # ~/mdadm-3.2.6/mdadm --version mdadm - v3.2.6 - 25th October 2012 # ~/mdadm-3.2.6/mdadm /dev/md127 --remove /dev/sdg mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/sdg: Device or resource busy I can see how the initial report might be similar to the current situation, but it seems like the patch wasn't able to remove the device. (I did check to make sure that my local downloaded versions of mdadm did indeed have the patch; both do.) --keith -- kkeller-usenet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
