linux software raid

Hi I just install ubuntu with software raid. I noticed during the
configure raid I saw a message that kernel does not know of md0 and I
need to reboot to fix it. I went along and finish the install. When
the system rebooted it came back with a message raid degraded.

Here is an excerpt from the dmesg

[ 35.454913] md: md0: raid array is not clean -- starting background
reconstruction
[ 35.565022] raid1: raid set md0 active with 1 out of 2 mirrors

How do I fix the degraded raid?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
