z97 Extreme9 Raid issue

   The NTFS signature problem seems to be caused by the Windows Hibernation file. 
The Windows ssd couldn't be mounted either because of that file.  I'm not a huge fan of hibernation for my PC uses anyway so deleting the file and turning off hibernation aren't an issue for me.  Just turning off hibernation in the Control panel doesn't remove the file. 

http://tekeye.biz/2014/hiberfil-sys-windows-8-1-delete  gives instructions on how to do this.  In linux, I no longer have the NTFS signature error, but my mounting of the raid is still problematic.  still more to do.

	http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/what%27s-the-problem-of-linux-mint-installation-on-raid1-4175540930/#post5354427 casts some doubt on my being successful. A dedicated hardware RAID card might be a better solution at this time.

	Linux is aware of the raid, dmraid sees it. It is listed in /dev/mapper/. But mounting can't see it to mount it. There are various sites discussing similar issues and I've tried a number of suggestions without success. Some distributions are alleged to be better at this than others but those tend to be the more minimalist distros like Knoppix which is not well suited to my purposes.
