Sometime in the distant past, I lost a member of my raid 1 group.
Here's some output:

I attempted to boot single user mode and fsck /dev/hdb5 but single user
doesn't seem to do what it used to, for some reason /dev/md0 was
mounted. However I did boot Knoppix CD and do a fsck -f /dev/hdb5. It
had no errors and when I rebooted back it still wouldn't install.
I've searched the documentation and pretty much anything I try ends up
with a "Cannot open /dev/hdb5: Device or resource busy" message.
Here's what mount says:

All the solutions I've been able to google fail with the busy. There is
nothing that I can find that might be using /dev/hdb5 except the raid
device and it appears it's not either.
I'd be happy getting /dev/hdb5 back as a separate device and give up on
raid entirely if that will solve this problem but I can't figure out how
to get the raid drive to let loose of either partition.
Thanks for any guidance. It worked for about 6 months then one day it
went Poof! I'm sure it was during a power failure.
Jim.

Since /dev/hdb5 has been part of this array before you should use
--re-add instead of --add.
Kind regards,
Alex.

Have you tried stopping (-S) /dev/md0 and then re-assemble the array (-A)?

Yes, I did that yesterday. Something is holding on to /dev/hdb5, 'cause
I got the device busy message from that attempt too. I think I'm going
to remove the partition and see what happens.
Thanks,

That is not correct.
--re-add is only needed for arrays without metadata, for which you use
"--build" to start them.

Very odd. But something must be using it.
What does
ls -l /sys/block/hdb/hdb5/holders
show?
What about
cat /proc/mounts
cat /proc/swaps
lsof /dev/hdb5
??

I agree but for the life of me I can't figure out what, other than some
raid daemon.

Problem is not raid, or at least not obviously raid related. The
problem is that the whole disk, /dev/hdb is unavailable.
root@chinaberry:~# for i in /dev/hdb?

> done
mount: /dev/hdb1 already mounted or /mnt busy
mount: /dev/hdb2 already mounted or /mnt busy
mount: /dev/hdb3 already mounted or /mnt busy
mount: /dev/hdb4 already mounted or /mnt busy
mount: /dev/hdb5 already mounted or /mnt busy
mount: /dev/hdb6 already mounted or /mnt busy
root@chinaberry:~# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
I can fdisk it but none of the partitons are available. Knoppix can
access it normally so it's not a hardware issue. No funny messages in
the syslog. So I'll go off and stop harassing this list. ;)
Thanks,
Jim.
