Hi all I tried with the latest linux stable kernel and latest mdadm. After stopping a raid device, the dev node directory can't be released at once. I did a simple test, the script is: #!/bin/sh while [ 1 ]; do mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -n2 /dev/loop0 /dev/loop1 sleep 5 mdadm -S /dev/md0 ls /dev/md0 sleep 1 ls /dev/md0 done mdadm: stopped /dev/md0 /dev/md0 ls: cannot access /dev/md0: No such file or directory It usually detects dev node /dev/md0 isn't released after stopping raid. I'm not sure whether it's a bug or not. Do we need to do some job to make sure that the node should be released before command mdadm -S return?
