Yes, the raid devices seem to be set up OK.

Eeeeeeekk!
This sound like you're trying to use your raid device exactly wrong:
You MUST NOT use/mount/whatever the physical partitions making up
your raid device; instead, all accesss MUST be done using the
/dev/md<n> devices ONLY.
Also, if you DID write to /dev/sda2 or /dev/sdb2, the devices are now
no longer in sync whithout the raid layer being aware of this.
Finaly, most probably you made the file systems (mkfs) on /dev/sda<n>
instead of /dev/md<n>, so the persistent superblock conflicts with
your filesystem.
Best way to go on from here would probably be to
* stop your raid array(s)
* rerun mkraid
* create new filesystems on the raid devices (mke2fs /dev/md0, mke2fs
/dev/md1)
* Change any reference to one of the four physical partitions used in
your raid devices (sda2,3, sdb2,3) in /etc/fstab to the corresponding
raid device (/dev/md0 or /dev/md1)
This procedure obviously overwrites all data currently on sda2,3,
sdb2,3, so you'll want to backup before trying this and restore
afterwards.
Bye, Martin
