The problem may be that there is one or more processes which have open files (including the working directory) which are preventing you from unmounting the device. I don't think that the raid has anything to do with it. Try entering the command "fuser -m /dev/md0" to get a list of process ids of processes using the md0 device.
How do you have it formatted now? What are the results of a "mount" command? It should tell you what file systems are mounted (including /raid) and what file system type the device is. Once you manage to get the device unmounted, you can simply invoke the command "mkfs -t ext3 /dev/md0" to make an ext3 filesystem on it. Steve James D.
