Unable to add replacement for failed device to the software RAID when in "Not In Sync" state

Additional Information

If the server is rebooted after a drive in the RAID fails and before a device is added back to the RAID, the error occurs when attempting to add the device back to the RAID.  A RAID with a failed device shows a "Degraded Mode" state prior to reboot and a "Not In Sync" state after reboot.
