Yep, software raid using mdadm.  I saved-off the conf file, but the fs from
those drives is gone.  When I try using mdadm to create an array on those
drives, mdadm tells me for each drive that "Device or resource is busy".  So
I made sure that none were mounted, and then created a raid partition on
each but I still get the same result.
