Mounting a RAID assembly after a reboot requires three steps:

  1. Activate (run) the assembly
  2. Unlock the LUKS partition
  3. Mount the LUKS target to a directory
sudo mdadm --run /dev/md0
sudo cryptsetup open /dev/md0 lukstarget --type luks
# LUKS will prompt for a password and/or keyfile
sudo mount /dev/mapper/lukstarget /mnt/raid

This assumes you already have a RAID assembly created.
