So it looks like all info is lost. Can I create a new array with the existing LVM partitions and the free partitions without destroying any data?
Your raid appears to be on /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2 Try mdadm --examine --brief --scan --config=partitions and see if it sees anything.
# mdadm --examine --brief --scan --config=partitions
Nothing.... Indeed these are the partitions that are now unused and used to be part of the raid. Any idea what could have gone wrong when I migrated to from FC3 to Centos? I also changed the mobo of this machine and changed the CPU from single to a dual core one. I assume support is in the kernel, so no special actions should be needed to get this to work during boot up.
