Subject: [PATCH] Remove: container should wait for an array to release a drive
A 'faulty' drive is being removed from a container after it has been
released by an array, however there is a race there. The drive is
released asynchronously by a monitor but sometimes it doesn't happen
before container checks it. It results in a container refusing to remove
a drive as it still seems to be a part of some array.
It seems 'ping_monitor' could be a solution here to assure monitor has
had a chance to process the events, however it doesn't resolve the
problem - sometimes an array has to request a release of the drive few
times (as the array is busy) and single 'ping_monitor' call is not
sufficient. As there is no way to query monitor progress, it forces us
to retry a check several times before an error is returned.
