My problem is I can't do a e2fsck on the raid - I get:
buffy:~ # e2fsck -f /dev/md0
e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/md0
Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?

Sounds a lot like the filesystem is mounted, so unmount it.

Any idea what I have overlooked since my array keep being busy. I
can find a PID with md0 but have no idea what are causing this.
This disks or raid is not mounted or exist (yet) in fstab.

What does 'df' show ?

'df' shows the following:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 30969568 3944508 25451900 14% /
udev 3836336 360 3835976 1% /dev
/dev/sda3 447685780 204680 424739888 1% /home


Hmmm. The error message from e2fsck is interesting: "Filesystem mounted
or opened exclusively by another program?" - as it's not mounted, is
something else using the device directly? Pretty weird, but possible.
