I have a problem that I can't seem to solve. We have a Ubuntu server setup with RAID-10 and two of the drives dropped out of the array. When I try to re-add them using the following command:

mdadm --manage --re-add /dev/md2 /dev/sdc1

I get the following error message:

mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdc1: Device or resource busy

When I do a "cat /proc/mdstat" I get the following:

Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [r$
md2 : active raid10 sdb1[0] sdd1[3]

md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdc1[1]
    19530688 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

When I run "/sbin/mdadm --detail /dev/md2" I get the following:

Output of df -h is:

When I do a "fdisk -l" I can see all the drives needed for the RAID-10.

The RAID-10 is part of the /dev/mapper, could that be the reason why the device is coming back as busy? Anyone have any suggestions on what I can try to get the drives back into the array?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
