Greetings list,

Unfortunately, I'm in need of RAID recovery.  I can probably wing it,
but I've had problems in the past, and I don't want to blow it, so I'm
asking for some help here.

Two disks, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, sdb is the one that failed.  The
system can not start the second disk at all, but I do have a replacement
disk.  Also - the system will not boot with the one disk, and I'm
guessing it panicked overnight.

/dev/sda1 is /boot
/dev/sda2 is /usr
/dev/sda3 is /home
/dev/sda4 is Extended
/dev/sda5 is Swap
/dev/sda6 is the RAID partition

I'm in the process of restoring from tape the contents of /etc
(particularly fstab and the mdadm.conf file).  I'm guessing
that /dev/sdb had a single partition that was the same size as /dev/sda6
and the two were married into /dev/md0

If so, any suggestions as to how to proceed are most welcome.

(I am able to boot into CentOS 4.4 rescue mode, as well as boot into a
Live CD).

Thanks for your help.
