At first, for some reasons the uuids on one of raid members changed on its own. I had to cross my fingers and try the solution in this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410136 Then after I took a backup and rebuilt the RAID, I got hit by this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/125471/comments/4 (4th comment, root NOT on raid but booting into initramfs) Now I am having serious doubts on using RAID on Ubuntu atleast, and am thinking of moving the server to either Debian or better still FreeBSD(better because I suspect the Ubuntu issues might have some influence from changes in Debian unstable).
