All raid arrays are started at the same time, but to have mount to
identify LABEL's you need mkfs.ext3 to be used with the -L <label name>
option at format time. Like this:

# mkfs.ext3 -R stride=4096 -L /home /dev/md0

or (if already in production) :

# tune2fs -L /home /dev/md0

  LABEL's suck big time any ways. I don't use them. BTW: ReiserFS hasn't
  even made room for it in the superblock.. Waste of space. :-)
