Because mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sdb2 does not work. It says set device faulty failed for /dev/sdb2: no such device.... but cat /dev/sdb2 shows there is a device there! I have a 2nd system with the same config, I shut it down correctly with the 'halt" command and when I bring it back up I get the same problems due to the crappy RAID.

Before this system was working fine. I shut it down correctly with the 'halt' command. I plugged in a USB KVM
boottime (to provide needed info for Bug # 412476) after the system hung I powered it off, unplugged the kVM and then booted it back, only to get the above messages.
First thing I would do is to mark /dev/sdb2 as failed and remove it from the array. Then try booting the array with just /dev/sdb1 as a member. Once the array is started, reassemble the array and let it rebuild the mirror. I am assuming that /dev/sdb2 is the partition with the

Reading man mdadm may be useful.

A [golf] ball hitting a tree shall be deemed not to have hit the tree. Hitting a tree is simply bad luck and has no place in a scientific game.
