I used mdadm to create the RAID, like so: Signup> "mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 Signup> /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1". So it should be there, but looking at your partitions, I don't see /dev/sdd1 at all, which makes me go hmmm... Can you please show the full and complete output from these two commands? sudo mdadm --examine /dev/sdc sudo mdadm --examine /dev/sdc1 sudo mdadm --examine /dev/sdd Did you maybe have LVM underneath, with MD on top? What does 'sudo pvs' say? All of the above commands could be run as root too. Signup> Sadly I don't have any info such as lsdev from the previous set up :( Bummers.

I'm not familiar with this command. Ok, I see it's a forensics program. It might be that you just got your partition table(s) messed up on sdc and sdd, which will make things harder. Esp since, as I noted before, you do NOT have a partition table on /dev/sdd, which is surprising.
