Ok, I'm learning a lot about raids and what to do, and what not to do. Looking at some info I had before, md1 was 200GB in size, which makes sense, but it was only 39GB full. The way I repartitioned drive 1, I probably overwrote only about 11GB. Does that make it any easier to recover any amount of the raid? Is there some sort of "recover lost partitions" option in Linux or gparted?
The partition is just a map, if you can re-create the partition exactly the way it was before, the data should still be there if it wasn't overwritten.
But as far as I know there isn't a backup stored of the partition table, if the disk is exactly the same as the other member, then you can try duplicating the partition setup using the first disk as a guide.
I don't know whether or not it will help restore a RAID 0 set, but may be worth a shot since the situation probably can't get much worse.
