I stopped the first one and then stopped the second one immediately after and got the oops, here is a transcript of what was on my terminal session: [root@brimstone-1b ~]# mdadm --stop /dev/md/array1 mdadm: stopped /dev/md/array1 [root@brimstone-1b ~]# mdadm --stop /dev/md/array2 Message from syslogd@brimstone-1b at Tue Apr 4 09:54:40 2017 ... brimstone-1b kernel: [649162.174685] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000098 Using Linux 4.9.13 and here is the output from the kernel messages: --snip-- [649158.014731] dlm: 5b3b8f94-7875-b323-5bb8-29fa6866f4a8: leaving the lockspace group...
