Well in the ReadyNAS at least if you have several separate volumes they could be mounted concurrently.
Was your volume an X-RAID or RAID-1 volume or were you using a separate volume for each disk?
With just the one volume if the partitions are out of sync then mdadm will typically choose to start the array using one disk not the other.

The root and swap use RAID regardless of whether that is used for the data volume.
