The other partitions seem to be fine. This is the first Linux Raid I have setup. I had the same problem with linux raid and swap. See the below post which resolved my problem.

I'm having trouble with my swap file. I have my swap set up in a mirrored raid on md1. It is showing in sysinfo as swap not available. So i'm trying to delete md1, and repartition those 2 partitions as separate swap partitions, using yast partitioner. Problem is that I get an error saying... ----------------- Failure occurred during the following action Deleting software RAID /dev/md1
System error code was -6006
mdadm --stop /dev/md1: mdadm: fail to stop array /dev/md1:device or resource busy -----------------
I do have three other Linux RAID partitions on this machine, md0, md2 and md3, and these are functioning properly.
I don't remember having this problem before, and I know swap was working at some point, but it isn't now.
Any pointers?
Maybe that is, because mirrored swap partitions cannot be used for suspend to > disk. You can disable this by replacing resume=/dev/md1 by noresume in your > bootloader configuration.

Thanks Herbert, this fixed my problem. I had used "noresume" in the grub boot options, but for some reason that stopped working. By making that permanant in my grub file I can now access and manage my swap on /dev/md1. I have it on raid1.
Many thanks for the tip.

Yes, it looks like that worked. Swap now shows active and I see it as virtual memory in Webmin now.
