If the disk is partitioned then did you actually want the array made up
of the partitions rather than the whole disk? In which case stopping the
array and recreating using the partitions may be all that's needed:
    mdadm -S /dev/md0
    mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1
    /dev/sdc1 --assume-clean

That could cause further damage if that's not how it should be set up,
so I'd recommend thinking hard before running it!

Cheers,
