I'm having a problem with md0. It's supposed to bind hda5 and hdc5 but it's only able to bring up hdc5 for md0. md0 is being mounted as /boot.
Being that it's /boot, I can't seem to umount it to do anything to it.
Perhaps I'm not approaching this correctly. How do I fix this so that
hda5 is also running along side hdc5 for md0?

Thanks,
Sevatio

I can't make much of this question, but I can tell you two things:

1. You don't need to umount the device for most operations.

2. You can umount next to anything, provided there are no opened files there. Do a "lsof /boot", or perhaps "lsof | grep boot" and kill the listed programs before trying umount (usually, it's only klogd reading /boot/System.map).

Thanks so much Bernd. I was able to umount /boot so I can hopefully get to the raid1 portion of this problem.
