It does indeed sound like it sucks to be you today.
This scenario is exactly why you should NEVER use Software RAID.
FYI, when interviewing candidates at a past job, one said something like,
"Software RAID is slick", the interview was basically over at that point.
If this person said, 'Software RAID is horrible, but it was the best I could
do' and say why, he would have been in the running.
While it might be the most economical solution, and smaller shops are all
over that, I generally feel it to cause more heartburn than the money it
saves.
I know that it doesn't address your question, and I admit that I don't know
the answer, but it's a learning experience.
Good luck getting the data back from tape.
