when I had the problem, then I saw, that in the md record there is a reference
to the drives which are used to build the device:
root@wspk:~# mdadm --examine /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:
[...]
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
this 1 8 1 1 active sync /dev/.static/dev/sda1
0 0 8 17 0 active sync /dev/.static/dev/sdb1
1 1 8 1 1 active sync /dev/.static/dev/sda1
What is the output of mdadm --examine on your system, when you have booted using only one part of a mirror?
