Let us be clear. We are talking about hardware Raid (level 5) I assume and you are
saying by some magic the Raid disk gets mounted without any entry in fstab.
I the Raid one partition or several partitions? As far as my experience goes
nothing gets mounted at boot unless it has a entry in the fstab.

Send out you fstab and the result of df or mount command and let see what exactly
you are doing.
