But looking closer, that md1 is not my OS partition, just a data partition. If I take that md1 entry out of the raidtab file and restart the computer, I would think that it would start up just fine, minus the data partition (and for the moment neglecting any vital programs that might be installed on that partition). My question is when I start the computer back up, in order to start up without that partition there any more, will the OS write any new files or anything that will not be reversible?
Thank you again,
Jeff

You can just re-create the raid0 and restore the data.
