Assume the two devices are hdc and hde, fdisk -l /dev/hdc fdisk -l /dev/hde mdadm -E /dev/hdc mdadm -E /dev/hde and my best guess mdadm --build /dev/md0 --level linear --raid-disks 2 /dev/hdc /dev/hde fsck -n /dev/md0 (and linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx might be a better mailing list for this particular sort of problem).
