You should just be able to re-add sdb1 to the array and it'll rebuild in
the background. No data loss.
Thats what I'm seeing right now.
Now, the old entry of sdb1 is still in the md0, but with state removed.
(output of mdadm -D /dev/md0)
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
0 8 1 0 active sync /dev/sda1
1 0 0 - removed
2 8 17 1 spare rebuilding /dev/sdb1
Is that OK?
Yes; the "removed" line should disappear when the rebuild is done IIRC.
