Unless you have system data on /srv (which would be it's own inconsistency with a standard system) needed during rc. In fstab, I set the RAID partition to noauto and disable automatic fsck. Then in rc.local call 'bioctl blah && fsck UUID.partition && mount /srv' I use a password so it's interative for me and I see if anything goes wrong. Log a message with 'logger' or send an email or whatever if something fails for your situation. Then you're done dealing with this.
