^^^^^
I think you mean "won't" - "the raid device will not be active after boot".
This is a nasty corner case in English Grammar - one verb is "I can, you
will, he will", the other is "I will, you can, he can" !?!?!?
If you mean it is possible that the array will not be there after boot,
but that the user can just start it manually (ie there's no real problem
with it), then it's "the raid device won't be active ..."
Cheers,
Wol
