Disk layout is extremely standard:

Grub lives on all 4 drives, and in the past has had no problem.

For completeness, though I assume well after the stage where grub would
kick into rescue mode, I boot from /dev/md1, which is the sda2/sdc2
pair:

$ cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [raid1] [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
