Just to throw a BIG monkey-wrench into the picture, be careful if you |

install or upgrade any operating system ... |

One of the problems that crops up every now and then on the raid mailing |

list is "intelligent" utilities writing an MBR or GPT without asking... |
| 13 |
|

And the latest one was an upgrade to debian. Something seemed to have |
| 15 |
written a GPT to /dev/md0 which obviously didn't do the array much good |
| 16 |
... it always used to be just writing to a hard drive like /dev/sdX and |

now it seems to be writing to other block devices as well :-( |
