Thanks, Thom and Doc. Actually someone on the list sent me a private email suggesting I check /proc/raidtab. If there are 2 U's next to the entry, things are working. I couldn't find a /proc/raidtab but I did find /proc/mdstat and there are 2 U's next to each of the 2 RAID devices (md0 and md1) I configured. I have not the slightest idea what those 2 U's refer to and need to learn.
I still want to do what Thom and one other person suggested. In my case I don't care about backing up data too much except for the kickstart configuration file and /etc/mail. The machine is brand new and has no other critical data on it yet. But it soon will when I migrate my work to it. I'll pull the plugs on md0 and see if md1 can take over...
If I had critical files on there I'd backup things first. Far too many people don't follow Doc's advice and then have long faces when a crash happens to them.
Thanks
Robert L. Cochran

Gakkk!!! Before or after you back up any critical files?
Reminds me of the saying:

there are bold pilots, but
there are no old bold pilots.
