Are you / is your system trying to access the raid array *directly* as a ext3 
file system over /dev/sda1 instead of as a RAID device over a /dev/md* 
device? 

I don't think you can fsck /dev/sda1 for the same reason, you can 
fsck /dev/md0 as that contains an ext3 file system but /dev/sda1 contains 
RAID data.
