SubjectRe: lock failure when creating raid on 2.6.0-test9
(cc'ing linux-kernel as well since I suspect another subsystem may be
involved).

I noticed something else in addition to the problem below: I also
can no longer mount /dev/hdc1 since mount tells me the device
is busy. It looks like something scans the various block devices during
boot and forgets to release something.
