Never had a problem with that. Always worked fine for me. Had at least 3 different cases like that so far. Always recovered flawlessly.
Hmmm, maybe it was user error on my part? I lost a 2TB system system built on md, and then again with a 250GB system. It was tough getting 2TB off of tape in a quick manner! :) Ended up doing disk to disk backups, and staying away from software raid. Hardware raid really isn't that expensive these days, even for large 16 drive systems.
Maybe. Maybe you've got some of those old pre-mdadm softraid implementations, which were a pain in the behind to get working right after a crash.
