I've seen a soft raid volume lost because the non-raid boot volume containing the OS failed.

IMO If the OS isn't on a raid volume, soft raid for data volumes just makes you feel good without providing full protection. Just having an historical OS backup won't help much recovering a newer raid volume.

It has to be in Dynamic volume for raid info to work?
