I setup sarge software raid during install. Two drives mirrored, one hot spare. My question is, if one drive fails, will it auto fix itself and boot if necessary or am I going to have to modify grub if a drive drops out?
TIA,

Unless you get grub to install boot sectors on all disks, *and* you get your bios to really boot from the second disk if the first one is dead, it won't work and you'll need to use grub and/or a cd to boot your system.
It should be possible, but I didn't succeed in any case for any of my setups (all running raid1).
Consumer class PC's are not really always ready for booting-while-one-hd-is-dead... A hardware raid card works better for that.
