Sorry, the command should be: mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/hdb1
Hope that helps.

Yep.
My fault though - no excuses - I should know this stuff and should have checked more carefully.
It's been a fraught day and coming back to take the server apart, screw it back together etc etc made me sloppy.
Anyway. The good news is that I let the 2nd dd_rescue finish - typed in the command *with* a raid device to work on (doh!) and it worked.
Then I started lvm and that worked.
Then I tried to run xfs_check on the smaller (350Gb) partition - oomkiller time.
<Sigh>, nothing's easy is it.
I have 256Mb of RAM and 512Mb swap - I've stopped all other daemons - and still it dies...
And to think one of my tasks in all this was to merge the two filesystems into one and use xfs rather than reiserfs3.6 - but xfs won't even fsck!!!
OK, off to yank some RAM from another machine...
Thanks for the help guys - I appreciate it.
Is there a wiki for mdadm, raid around? I'd like to contribute to it (so I can use it next time <grin>)
