Hi,

it worked (kind of). Thanks.

I was able to recreate (the all appear in /proc/mdstat) and in the rescue
I've mounted the /boot which maps to /dev/md0. But I can't mount any other
partition.

they all complain with the same error

mount: Mounting /dev/mdX on /tmp/mountpoint failed: no such file or
directory


Any ideas?
