Well I reconfiged a portion of the second drive.
=====
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hdd: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 * 1 1912 15358108+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdd2 1913 11473 76798732+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdd3 11474 17847 51199155 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hdd4 17848 19122 10241437+ 82 Linux swap
Disk /dev/hda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1912 15358108+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hda2 1913 11473 76798732+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hda3 11474 17847 51199155 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/hda4 17848 19122 10241437+ 82 Linux swap
My two drives are laid out the same now.

When I shutdown my box and unpluged hdd and restarted it booted fine. When I shutdown again and rebooted with hda uplugged it did not boot to grub and then start. As you can see I have both hda1 hdd1 set bootable. What could be my problem?
Second what do I have to do to make the autosynch of a mirror work when it is outof sync. When you unplug a drive and look at /proc/mdstat it only shows one drive and even when both are plugged in after it doesn't just reconstruct the mirror. I had to use raidhotadd /dev/md0 /dev/hdd3 for it to start and resynch the mirror. Is there something that can monitor this and keep them in synch?

hmm... tough decisions and questions... id like to say...
1. your swap partitions would probably be the same size... should be atleast... that way your hdd will have the same partition sizes and will cause less confusion on a full hdd.
2. i would assume so since the raid controller initiates right after bios and will read what the setup is and take actions according.
3. i would say no for the simple fact of chance to damaging something... i'm not gonna be a part of this one...
