hi ya matt
at this point... you have reduced your raid partition to
a simple file..
you'd need to start over ( reformat it w/ whatever you were using )
mke2fs -b 4096 -m 1 /dev/md0
now try your test again
mount /dev/md0 /Raid
dd if=/tmp/tmpimage.png of=/Raid
- shutdown your system, unplug one of the disks
and see if the test file is still intact
