Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mdadm

Ubuntu 8.04.2, i386, server

Cannot stop RAID1 device. I do a disk cleanup and I want to replace
RAID1 device with RAID10 device. I cannot stop RAID1 device. /dev/md1
was used as a swap, but swap is "off" now.

# mdadm --stop /dev/md1
mdadm: fail to stop array /dev/md1: Device or resource busy

# mdadm /dev/md1 --fail /dev/sdb3
mdadm: set /dev/sdb3 faulty in /dev/md1

# mdadm  /dev/md1 --remove /dev/sdb3
mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/sdb3: Device or resource busy

# mdadm --stop -v /dev/md1
mdadm: fail to stop array /dev/md1: Device or resource busy

My observation is that most documentation focus on creation of new RAID
devices but there is only little information about destruction of RAID
devices (that is needed sometimes...). I want to delete /dev/md1 and
create new /dev/md1 that will be RAID10 type. Should be an easy task but
I met an issue I cannot overcome...
