Raid metadata are stored at the end of the partition, in a small area. Perhaps some overwrite of data happened, I don't know, but it'd be small. If you re-make the superblock with the right chunk size you can read the data back. I'd suggest following the help you're getting on the list, and if you don't understand something ask before running any commands. Also don't do anything that causes writes to the disks (such as fsck) before getting the raid back... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
