[gentoo-user] mdadm fails to add drive to arry

[Richard Broersma Jr]

I recently had a drive failure in with a Raid 1 setup.  However, for testing purposes I tried to
re-add the drive to the array after I removed it.  However I ran into the following error message.

~ # mdadm /dev/md4 --add /dev/hdj1
mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/hdj1 as 2: Invalid argument

Where is the invalid argument?  Or is this error message you get when it is time to buy a new hard
drive :).

I verified my syntax from that man page and :

under the section: Managing Arrays
