Ok, here is getting really weird, take a look at this..

With only 1 array, same as before, with 2 arrays, this happens.

aniel@Lizzie:~$ sudo dmraid -ay
[sudo] password for daniel:     
RAID set "isw_bhhagfbig_Volume0" already active
RAID set "isw_bhhagfbig_Volume1" was not activated


the detailed report says this:

Something is very wrong here and I think it has to do with something else, also, after executing dmraid, I can no longer boot (this bug is what happens to me after the first boot:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/398059)


Hope this helps
