Recently, I've noticed that after logging in, a RAID-1 volume is displayed two times. The same two hdd icons, the same Name, the same "Properties" are displayed.
When I choose "Unmount Volume" via the context menu, the second icon stays on the desktop. All its details in the properties dialog change to "Volume: home", and indeed the details for my /home partition are displayed. The "Name" is wrong though, as it's still the size of the RAID-1 volume. When I want to unmount the volume (just as a test) I'm asked "Do you want to empty the trash before you umount?" and the dialog explains what that would yield. If I choose not to empty the trash and proceed, there is an error dialog "Cannot unmount volume - The volume is not mounted" (sure, it's /home). When I mount the RAID-1 volume again, both desktop icons refer to it again.
Was there anything on the second drive before it was put into the RAID1 array? If it was labeled /home before, somehow the system still sees the old label (maybe because the process of creating a RAID array doesn't properly clear non-raid metadata at the beginning of the drive.)
