you have a bad raid system ...

you lose one partition and your entire raid disks can be toast

-----

if /dev/md2 is /boot ...

	- why do you need /boot ... /boot is NOT needed in
	most all applications unless you have whacky things
	like msdos(windows) at partition1

	- or that you have old bios(hw) that cannot talk in lba16,
	lba24, lba32, lba48, ...

if it is /boot.. you did NOT configure grub/lilo/syslinux properly
	and your current config files are wrong

	it will NOT boot properly whan the other disk dies

why do you need so many raid devices /??
