root@crazyhorse:~# mdadm /dev/md/2 -r /dev/hdh5 mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/hdh5: No such device md1 and md2 are supposed to be raid5 arrays.You are probably using udev, don't you? Somehow there's presently no /dev/hdh5, but to remove /dev/hdh5 out of the raid, mdadm needs this device. There's a workaround, you need to create the device in /dev using mknod and then you can remove it with mdadm.In case the /dev/hdh5 device node is missing, mdadm will complain "No such file or directory" (ENOENT), instead of "No such device" (ENODEV). In this case, as I explained in my previous email, the arrays aren't running, and the error refers to manipulations (md ioctls) with existing /dev/md/2. It has nothing to do with udev.
Ah, that's good to know. I also thought that it couldn't find /dev/hdh5 from the error message given. The --force to -A worked fine, btw. Thanks for your help!
