same here (and this is, in fact, the situation).

the whole concept I think I am trying to get across here, is how to tell the 
raid that it has been truncated by 193 MB. to lose an entire raid over 193 MB 
is simply put: insanely ridiculous!

I have contacted the developer of mdadm on this (as that was the tool used to 
create the raid-0 in the first place). hopefully, he'll have some ideas.

sorry if I hammered a few folks on here. 

besides, there wasn't room in the laptop for 3 drives!
