From the Pastezone thing...
-----------------------------------------------------
    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
       0       7        2        0      active sync   /dev/loop2
       1       7        0        1      active sync   /dev/loop0
       2       7        1        2      active sync   /dev/loop1
       3       7        3        3      active sync   /dev/loop3
pari:/mnt/debian# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -f /dev/loop2
mdadm: set /dev/loop2 faulty in /dev/md0
pari:/mnt/debian# mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -f /dev/loop0
mdadm: set /dev/loop0 faulty in /dev/md0
---------------------------------------------------

So while you did remove loop0 and loop2, these were disk1 and disk0.
