        Both sdb and sdc are fully partitioned in the hardware raid with:

/dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part1
                         69972     15457     50902  24% /boot
/dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part2
                      20641788   5114476  14478672  27% /
/dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part3
                     219648612  12348660 196142408   6% /home


What does any of that have to do with sda?


        Second, and most relevant, I was scared to death to mess with the fully
functional array with a new install and temp fate with the partitioner
screwing up the system. See:

if you properly size the partitions on sda, then the hardware
raid should repopulate the other partitions.

Software Install"

You're not installing software.

I'm not going to ask you if you understand how RAID works,
because even people who don't understand something often
think that they do.  So instead, I will ask you this:

Why do you think that your RAID will not repopulate
the other partitions on sda if they are part of the
RAID structure?
