Is this a > possible explanation? Yep, this completely explains everything. / was *not* on /dev/md2, it was on /dev/hda6 which also happened to be a part of an unused raid1 array. After a crash, the raid1 array did a resync copying from hdc6 to hda6. Very sad. Very good that you had backups. 2.6 won't let you do this: you cannot have a partition in a raid array and mounted as a filesystem at the same time.
