A *very* strange thing suddenly happened.

Around the upgrade to

Linux thor 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux

my device mapping suddenly changed:

1) before the three identical partitions for raid0 were /dev/sda1, sdb1,
sdc1, and the system booted from /dev/sdd

2) now these partitions became /dev/sdb1, sdc1, sdd1 (I need not mention that 
the raid is not functioning; mdam
    gets crazy), the system boots from /dev/sda

Thus my raid survives from one kernel upgrade to the other.

I give below the output of mdadm; notice that it shows sda1 in the array and 
simultaneously complains it is not,
sdd1 is in, but never reported as such:
