Subject: Zombie dm device?
Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2017 15:50:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3cf28b7e-9716-3595-018a-fecb32b61751@ubuntu.com> (raw)

After running the parted test suite I seem to have a zombie md device:

root@devserv:~# mdadm -D /dev/md99
/dev/md99:
        Version :
     Raid Level : raid0
  Total Devices : 0

          State : inactive

    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice


Why is this thing still hanging around, and how do you get rid of it?  I
tried mdadm --stop /dev/md99 but it didn't get rid of it.  I also can't
find any mdadm switch or a delete file or similar in the sysfs node.
