Thanks a lot for your help. I have my data back! Played a few movie files off of the mounted drive, and they all worked perfect. Sorry for being such a dunce with the block sizes. `/dev/sdc3:2048s /dev/sdb3:2048s /dev/sde:2048s /dev/sdd3:1024s missing` mounted the drive successfully. Now, is there a way to "normalize" my drives so I can mount it without running through this guesswork again? Or that I can re-create my array using a standard mdadm?
