I have not been able to reproduce the problem again. However I think I had the index values in the raidtab file wrong. I had raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 chunk-size 4 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/hda5 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc5 failed-disk 1 device /dev/hde5 spare-disk 3 when it should have been raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 chunk-size 4 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/hda5 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc5 failed-disk 1 device /dev/hde5 spare-disk 0 NB note the last line of each block. The man page shows and example but it is not clear on how the index numbers should be set. I have not had a chance to rebuild the raid to see if this was in fact my problem. The server is running and serving web pages ... And yes, I am using raidtools2!
