Hi, I had a run-in with the Ubuntu Server installer, and in trying to get the new system to recognize the clean 5-disk raid5 array left behind by the previous Ubuntu system, I think I inadvertently instructed it to create a new raid array using those same partitions. What I know for sure is that now, I get this: user@host:~$ sudo mdadm --examine /dev/hda1 mdadm: No super block found on /dev/hda1 (Expected magic a92b4efc, got 00000000) user@host:~$ sudo mdadm --examine /dev/hdc1 mdadm: No super block found on /dev/hdc1 (Expected magic a92b4efc, got 00000000) user@host:~$ sudo mdadm --examine /dev/hde1 mdadm: No super block found on /dev/hde1 (Expected magic a92b4efc, got 00000000) user@host:~$ sudo mdadm --examine /dev/hdg1 mdadm: No super block found on /dev/hdg1 (Expected magic a92b4efc, got 00000000) user@host:~$ sudo mdadm --examine /dev/hdi1 mdadm: No super block found on /dev/hdi1 (Expected magic a92b4efc, got 00000000) I didn't format the partitions or write any data to the disk, so I think the array's data should be intact. Is there a way to recreate the superblocks, or am I hosed?
