Hi Lee,
Thanks for your update!
Yes, if you did not format your disks before setup mirror, you will get the
issue. I suggest you format the RAW volume or volumes by using one of the
following supported file systems:
o FAT
o FAT32
o NTFS
To work around this problem.
Additionally, A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is
only intended to correct the problem that this article describes. Apply it
only to systems that are experiencing this specific problem.
To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to
obtain the hotfix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support
Services phone numbers and information about support costs, visit the
following Microsoft Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[LN];CNTACTMS
*Note: In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for support
calls may be canceled if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a
specific update will resolve your problem. The usual support costs will
apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for
the specific update in question.
Please refer to the following KB article to get detail info:
RAW Dynamic disk mirrored volumes or RAW RAID-5 volumes regenerate after
every shutdown

I am currently standing by for your reply. I am always happy to be of
further assistance.
Have a nice day!
Best Regards,
Jenny Wu
