Sounds like this document might help you:

24 hours should have been enough time to replace the hard drives,
reinstall the software and restore your backups.  I'd go with a true file
system this time though, with the /home on it's own drive(s) so you can
easily replace it and restore if the drive(s) goes away in the future.

Good time for an upgrade to OS and hardware if you ask me.

Good luck.
