Today it failed to mount on boot once again.  I pressed "S" to skip
mounting, and upon trying to mount it manually, I get:

trinitr...@saturn:~$ sudo mount /media/terabyte
mount: /dev/md0: can't read superblock
trinitr...@saturn:~$ cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] 
[raid10] 
md_d0 : inactive sda1[0](S)
      732571904 blocks
       
md0 : inactive sdb1[1](S) sdc1[2](S) sdd1[3](S)
      2197715712 blocks
       
unused devices: <none>

.....Ok... so now it's putting one of my drives on md_d0 again??? Why?

Apparently ubuntu is bringing up the drives in the WRONG ORDER!  All
drives [a-d] are now 1 letter incremented in the alphabet. (ie: ubuntu
thinks sdb1 should be called sda1, sdc1 should be called sdb1, etc...)
I'm not sure which drive it thinks is sde now, because it says there's
no superblock on it.

How can I fix it's mistake?
