Hey,

I've a weird issue with a RAID6 setup, /proc/mdstat says:

> md126 : active raid6 sda1[3] sdh1[6] sdg1[0](F) sdf1[5] sdi1[1] sdc[8] sd=
b[7]
>       9767559680 blocks super 1.2 level 6, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [7/6] =
[_UUUUUU]

So sdg1 is (F)ailed, yet `mdadm --remove` yields:

> md: cannot remove active disk sdg1 from md126 ...

in dmesg...

`mdadm --examine` shows:

So that superblock thinks it's active, but that's normal, right? It
wasn't updated due to fail? Others correctly show:

Any ideas?
