Hi, It may be that I've never noticed this before, so maybe its not a problem... after using '--stop' to deactivate/stop an MD array, there are remnants of it lingering, namely an entry in /sys/block (eg, /sys/block/md127) and the device node in /dev remains (eg, /dev/md127). Is this normal? Like I said, it probably is, and I've just never noticed it before. I assume its not going to hurt anything, but is there a way to clean it up, without rebooting? Obviously I could remove the /dev entry, but what about /sys/block? Thanks for your time. --Marc -- 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
