Well, I've already tried to use --fail and --remove on md125 and md126
but I'm told the members are still active.
mdadm /dev/md126 --fail /dev/sdb1 --remove /dev/sdb1
mdadm /dev/md125 --fail /dev/sdb2 --remove /dev/sdb2
mdadm /dev/md126 --fail /dev/sdb1 --remove /dev/sdb1
mdadm: set /dev/sdb1 faulty in /dev/md126
mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/sdb1: Device or resource busy
with the intention of then re-adding them to md0 and md1.
so I tried:
mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sda1 --remove /dev/sda1
and got a similar message.
at which point I knew I was in over my head.

<pre wrap="">When I create my Raid arrays, I always use the option --bitmap=internal.
With this option set, a bitmap is used to keep track of which pages on
the drive are out of date and then you only resync pages which need
updating instead of recopying the whole drive when this happens. In the
past I once added a bitmap to an existing raid1 array using something
like this. This may not be the exact command, but I know it can be done:
mdadm /dev/mdN --bitmap=internal
Adding the bitmap is very worthwhile and saves time and risk of data
loss by not having to recopy the whole partition.
