Re: [Bug-grub] Re: GRUB and RAID 1--discs out of sync after install

looks like your using devfs which is why the '/' is in front of the '0',
if you look /dev there should be a directory 'md' containing the device
'0'.

when you type mount it looks in /etc/mtab for the information so you
seeing different stuff to whats in /proc.mounts  you might like to check
that you don't have a typo in your fstab, that might explain the
'/dev/mo0', or there could be bug in the devfs daemon, which is a
package you probably have installed on your system.
