Hello,

i have a little problem. Our server has an broken RAID.

# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md0 : active raid1 sda1[2](F) sdb1[1]
       2096064 blocks [2/1] [_U]

md2 : active raid1 sda3[2](F) sdb3[1]
       1462516672 blocks [2/1] [_U]

md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]
       524224 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>


I have remove the partition:

# mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sda1
mdadm: hot removed /dev/sda1 from /dev/md0

# mdadm --remove /dev/md2 /dev/sda3
mdadm: hot removed /dev/sda3 from /dev/md2


Now i want to add the old partition (to sync the raid), unfortunately, 
comes an error message:
# mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda1
mdadm: failed to write superblock to /dev/sda1


What is wrong here? Here some more details:

# mdadm --detail /dev/md0
