since when is it broken that way?

from where should that commandlien come from when the operating system 
itself is on the for no vali dreason not assembling RAID?

luckily the past few years no disks died but on the office server 300 
kilometers from here with /boot, os and /data on RAID1 this was not true 
at least 10 years

* disk died
* boss replaced it and made sure
   the remaining is on the first SATA
   port
* power on
* machine booted
* me partitioned and added the new drive

hell it's and ordinary situation for a RAID that a disk disappears 
without warning because they tend to die from one moment to the next

hell it's expected behavior to boot from the remaining disks, no matter 
RAID1, RAID10, RAID5 as long as there are enough present for the whole 
dataset

the only thing i expect in that case is that it takes a little longer to 
boot when soemthing tries to wait until a timeout for the missing device
