PII 450Mhz, ncr53c8xx, kernel 2.0.36 w/ raidtools-19981214-0.90

Ok, simple things first.

cat /proc/mdstat

Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors

1)  After a system crash/hang/etc, how does run fsck on a raid1 array?
I know you can't run it directly, but there has to be a procedure of some
kind.

2)  During my last bootup, I'm getting a log of errors like these (the
last error has me quite worried):

Apr 17 09:40:51 vodka kernel: raid1: raid set md4 not clean; reconstructing 
mirrors
Apr 17 09:40:51 vodka kernel: raid1: raid set md4 active with 2 out of 2
mirrors
Apr 17 09:40:51 vodka kernel: md: updating md4 RAID superblock on device
Apr 17 09:40:51 vodka kernel: sdb7 [events: 0000002e](write) sdb7's sb
offset: 5180864
Apr 17 09:40:51 vodka kernel: md: serializing resync, md4 has overlapping
physical units with md5!          

fdisk clearly shows that each partition does NOT overlap though.

3)  After the system has re-syncd all the RAID 1 arrays, the system seems
*very* unresponsive.  Load is .05 on a PII w/ 256MB RAM (200MB free).
Specifically, it takes a long time before the program seems to start.
Once processing, it seems very quick, but starting up takes forever.  Not
sure if it's related.

Thanks.
