If i want to add it back with mdadm /dev/md9 -a /dev/sdx1, i get the 'device busy' error. However, if i stop the mirror and start it right after, i can easily add the sdx1 back into md9. But this also requires me to stop any services using this mirror and unmount the filesystem on it... Any particular reason that this must work that way? -- Jure Pecar --pd/q08uAj=.Ld3.w Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+0qpYOHUMrcOSg+8RAmZ7AKDx8xus+TkUiJNAGY8cFfHfqKNlaQCeNDVg CYWn5cD3Zlcdj0AgL/b/SSI= =JvSP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pd/q08uAj=.Ld3.w--
