(SOLVED) chroot into software raid0 system?

does anybody know if there is a way to chroot into a software raid0 gentoo system?

I had a power failure and there was some filesystem corruption on my xfs raid0 partition (/) and i have been unable to chroot into the system without destroying the volume.

any help would be very much appreciated

well, this whole problem doesn't matter at this point because i had a power outage and sufferend severe filesystem damage and am reinstalling as we speak.

it was actually something more along the lines of

modprobe raid0

mknod /dev/md4 b 9 4

mdadm --create /dev/md4 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hda6 /dev/hdc6

(for others with this problem they will need to add the appropriate volume names)

I thought the last comand would bork my system but it didn't........ i went out on a limb and just tried it, all is well now......
