Looking back through the history it's the only time I ran it. I guess at
this point it's a hard lesson learned... 

The worst thing is that I thought everything was good because I was
reading and writing to the array yesterday. So because I needed the
space on the other machine the copy of the data was using, I removed it
late last night.

Wish I kept it til I had a better understanding of RAID and the
commands, such as looking at /proc/mdstat. I apparently had a false
sense of security not realizing I screwed up the setup of the raid
array.

Is any of this helpful?

[root@storage ~]# mdadm --query /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb: is not an md array
/dev/hdb: device 0 in 3 device undetected raid5 /dev/md0.  Use mdadm --examine for more detail.
[root@storage ~]# mdadm --query /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc: is not an md array
/dev/hdc: device 1 in 3 device undetected raid5 /dev/md0.  Use mdadm --examine for more detail.
[root@storage ~]# mdadm --query /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd: is not an md array
/dev/hdd: device 3 in 3 device undetected raid5 /dev/md0.  Use mdadm --examine for more detail.
[root@storage ~]# mdadm --query --examine /dev/hdb

Is there anyway to force it to try and reload the array even with the
failed device? I'm not getting drive errors on the device any longer. Is
the failed device the "dev/hdd" where I missed the leading "/"? Or, is
the failed device /dev/hdb?

What else can I look at? What other commands should I run? 

Can I force it to rebuid md0 with hdb and hdc? Right now I get:
[root@storage ~]# mdadm -v --run --force /dev/md0
mdadm: failed to run array /dev/md0: Invalid argument

Right now it looks like md0 does not exist.
