Well I'm pouring myself an ice wine and raising a glass to you. Downloaded fedora 21, ran the force assemble and it fixed my problem.

It's running a consistency check on those drives and then upgrading this server to fedora 21... was next on my list anyways. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
