Some may remember I asked this question a while back:

Say you had mirrored (say hardware) RAID with two drives. Reboot the
system with one drive unplugged, make some changes then reboot with
the other unplugged (and the unplugged one plugged back in), make some
different changes then reboot with both drives plugged back in, what
is the expected outcome (or is it controller dependent).

Well, I had the opportunity to test this today as I powered up my system
with only one drive plugged in. The answer is that the raid controller
(onboard Nvidia chipset) brought the drives up as *two* degraded arrays
(once I plugged the other back in). I had to delete one array and add
the released drive back to the other array. Smart enough. Unfortunately,
I wasn't and deleted the wrong array but fortunately I didn't lose
anything :)
