OK, I just did a tear down of my main for some cooling swaps and some cleaning. When I rebooted (after clearing CMOS etc.) one of my RAID drives was showing up as a non-RAID drive. No matter what I did, I could only get one of the drives to show as a RAID partition.

I ended up wiping it and creating a new partition, but just curious as to why that happened.

Probably when you cleaned the CMOS. I assume you mean removing the battery.
Now, it SHOULD have rebuilt the RAID array after a CMOS wipe, but who knows why it didnt. At least you got everything working again

I switched SATA ports and it was always the same one. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get that one drive to show as part of the array. I did fix it, but that was by wiping it all and creating a new array, lol. No big deal as I was due for a fresh install anyways, but I would like to know so I can fix it if possible when it happens again.
