Did you use mdcreate (IIRC) when you created your raid array?  I've
never run any raid level other than 0 (using the md driver, anyway) so I
can't be of much help in the way of practical experience.  However, I do
remember that my raid 0 arrays never worked unless I used mdcreate and
let it make the mdtab, etc. ...

There's a mailing list for linux raid.  I believe the name of the list
is linux-raid ... hmm, is it at vger?  I forget.  The address is in the
md docs, at any rate.  I don't have them handy.

Good luck!
