They were indeed set to raid autodetect. I was unaware of what that 
actually did, I think I must have followed that step in a how-to when I 
originally set it up. The odd thing is that these are the partition 
pairs that were being mounted:
sda sdb
sda1 sdb1
sdc1 sdd1
The last 2 are the ones I actually wanted, but the first one was 
something I had done when I was first playing around with it, if memory 
serves me correct. Is that possible, or does it point to some other issue?
