My God, the command is not working.  I need to remove sdb1 from md0 so I can change it from a RAID10 to RAID1, and it simply ignores my command:
# mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sdb1 --remove /dev/sdb1
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [multipath]

My system is half-converted and is now unbootable.  What am I going to do?
