Yep.

"cat /proc/mdstat". That'll tell you how the softRAID is working and
whether there are any problems with it at that moment. Please remember
that softRAID doesn't mirror the bootloader. dd the first 62 sectors of
sda to sdb, and then if sda falls over, you can set sdb as the first
boot device in the BIOS, and then you'll be able to boot from sdb.
