However: All previous versions of mdadm were unable to remove disconnected or = dead devices from md arrays. This is not corrrect. You can removed disconnected devices with: mdadm /dev/mdx --fail detached --remove detached will fail, then remove, all component devices on /dev/mdx which have been detached from the system. This has been possible since about 2.6.2.
