Raidstop /dev/md0 won"t work

this is probably a very dumb question.. however I am not able to
raidstop my raid-array using, which i need to do before running
raidreconf.

%> raidstop /dev/md0
/dev/md0: Device or resource busy.
%>

any suggestions... i have already tried unmounting the device.

thanks.

try doing fuser -m on /dev/md0 to see which processes are using it...

# fuser -m /dev/md0
/dev/md0: 8685c

then us ps to figure out what's up

This is a bug in raidstop. If you strace you will notice that it
opens it twice and before trying to ioctl(STOP...) it.

Upgrade raidtools or use mdadm.

And a quick and dirty:

mv /dev/md0 /dev/mdx
mv /dev/md1 /dev/md0
mv /dev/mdx /dev/md0
raidstop /dev/md1
mv /dev/md0 /dev/mdx
mv /dev/md1 /dev/md0
mv /dev/mdx /dev/md0

should work.
