Guys,

a new HDD has failed on me during a scrub.... i tried to remove/fail it but
it kept saying the device was busy. so i forced a reboot.

I have physically disconnected the drive..

can anyone take alook at the examine below and tell me if it is should
assemble ok?

I tried

mdadm --assemble /dev/md4 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1
/dev/sdg1

I'd try:

mdadm --assemble /dev/md4 /dev/sd{g,a,e}1 missing /dev/sd{d,b,f}1

HTH,
