<br>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.
