I would think for Redundancy in a RAID array a hardware controller should be allowed to have the machine reboot during a rebuild process and not loose track of where it is, and still run in degraded mode. Last test was a RAID10 rebuild, to see if a reboot would load the OS fine. It appears it successfully reboots during a rebuild phase. Strange how a RAID5 wouldn't boot and a RAID10 would. I'll try RAID5 once more to see if I got something amiss. However, I do like the speed of a RAID10.. Maybe I'll just keep it.
