Hi.

I am having the noted problem of hot removing a drive from a md1 array 
(see log below).

You need to set the drive as faulty first, before you can remove it. You can 
use mdadm --fail to do that.

Also, the /etc/raidtab seems to be ignored. I have tried to set drives 
as failed-disk, hoping to remove them after the next reboot, but that 
didn't work.

No, that's only for building an array.

Also, I have tried to change the order in which the md 
devices are initialized (by swapping entries in /etc/raidtab), but that 
had no effect either.

You can disable the raid autostart and use mdadm to start your arrays in the 
order you want.
