When you try to mount it, a raid bug (which has since been fixed) causes the mount processed to crash. You should be able to assemble the array with: mdadm -A /dev/md0 -f /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 Please try that, then take a copy of cat /proc/mdstat mdadm -D /dev/md0 and then try mounting the filesystem. If the mount still fails, send me the output of those commands.
