The tool is pretty easy to use so I won't go into any details on this list. But with it you should be able to inspect and rebuild your md devices. It has saved me a couple of times with my RAID5 md devices.
My raid devices are not hosed/broken or anything. This box boots off of a RAID mirror at /dev/md/0 with a root partition specified as /dev/md/1. After booting it starts to run /sbin/rc from the currently mounted rootfs which is on /dev/md/1, so it's already mounted and functional. Then checkfs tries to mount my raid devices (the ones that are currently mounted), cannot, chokes and then I can't get into the machine. The raid doesn't need to be rebuilt, it needs to be recognized by the boot scripts. What has changed in boot scripts in the last four months? The last time I rebooted was at the beginning of September and that booted fine, I've since done emerge --sync; emerge -uD world on the system, maybe thats it?
