Hi Romeyn,

If there were I/O errors on one of the disks, I am not sure that you
want to re-assemble/re-create this "corrupted" raid0 array.  However, if
you just want to get some data out of the volume /dev/md0, you can use
mdadm to re-create the array:

mdmadm -C -R /dev/md0 -c 64 -l 0 -n 2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1

Regards,
Mike T.
