Hi,

  Very short story : I've created an array on top of another one,
I presume that you actually mean that you created an array ontop of the disks from another array.

 so I lost my array and my data.

  Is there à way to recover RAID 5 meta data on each disk to be able to rebuilt the previous raid 5?

Well, if you used the same metadata version (like 1.2 for instance), the "old" metadata would have been overwritten by your new RAID metadata (assuming you built the RAID on the same drives/partitions) so that would be gone as well.

Even if you were able to rebuild the "previous" RAID (also assuming it was a RAID5), if your current RAID build has completed the data would have been thoroughly destroyed by the build process and recovery would be insanely hard.
