Danie, Tread cautiously here, as you easily can loose everything! FIrst, run mdadm --detail /dev/md0 to find out exactly what partitions are included in the md0 device. The last two lines or so should give you the information. Run mdadm -S /dev/md0 to shut down mirroring. Use cfdisk /dev/hda. Change the partition type for the relevant partition(s) from FD (RAID autodetect) to 83 (Linux). Write & reboot. When you reboot, no RAID components should be detected and you can mount your partition(s) normally. (Edit /etc/fstab appropriately before rebooting.) BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP!!! (Wouldn't hurt to backup your partition table with sfdisk -d, as well.) A similar way to do this would be to boot from a Knoppix disk. Make all the changes & then reboot.
