Well, it did, so goodbye to my install. So while reading http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=95928 and trying to get my Raid 5 and RAID 1 arrays working again a simple question question dawned on me... Can I install Mint onto the array without disturbing the data and actually boot off an mdadm array? If its possible I might need some help to get that done.
