is it RAID 0 (striped) or raid1 (mirrored) ?? if you wrote on half of a raid0 stripe set, you basically trashed it. blocks are striped across both drives, so like 16k on the first disk, then 16k on the 2nd then 16k back on the first, repeat (replace 16k with whatever your raid stripe size is). if its a raid 1 mirror, then either disk by itself has the complete file system on it, so you should be able to remirror the changed disk onto the other drive. you MUST do that re-mirror because your two disks are no longer identical, and reads will alternate between them, so some reads will get new data and others will get old data, which will be highly chaotic.
