RAID5 Recovery

[Neil Cavan <nrcavan@engmail.uwaterloo.ca>]

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?

Thanks,
Neil
