Its a log story but I did the raidstop indirectly in a Serviceguard/LX environment (shared md). Then redid the "raidstop" directly to prove it. I looked all over the web for someone who has come across this, that explains it but I have found no one. This "recovery" takes 8hrs (250Gb) and I was simply moving a "service package" which ends in a raidstop. Thank You Have you ever tried to “raidstop” while a recovery was occurring after a “mdadm /dev/mdX –add /dev/scsi/cxdypz” and this
