I know its a raid 0 is a stripe.
Its my swap partition.
Why would I need fault tolerance on my swap.

Anyway,
I did what Sam suggested.
md0 is fine, md1 doesn't exist
mdadm -Q -D /dev/md2
it yeilded
/dev/md2:
        Version : 00.90.01
  Creation Time : Mon Feb 14 06:42:28 2005
     Raid Level : raid5
     Array Size : 34812416 (33.20 GiB 35.65 GB)
    Device Size : 17406208 (16.60 GiB 17.82 GB)
   Raid Devices : 3
  Total Devices : 2
Preferred Minor : 2
    Persistence : Superblock is persistent

          State : clean, degraded

       1       8       19        1      active sync   /dev/sdb3
       2       0        0       -1      removed
           UUID : b4b161bc:2953b117:9c13c568:47693baa
         Events : 0.31307539

What if the  next step this is my mail server and I really don't have the
time to reload it.
I have my fstab, partition, mdstat,  infomation.
I ran this command sfdisk -d > sdb-parts.dump before a added the new drive.
Will any of this help?

Like I said before the only raid/partition experience I have is at initial
installation.
