one of our server's drive failed due to power cord issue.
however i plug it back and due to less experience with "parted" i messed
the whole thing.
i have 2tbx2 RAID 1 mirror and have 4x500GB partitions.
even i selected the right drive by "select command" and deleted the right
partition but parted did something worst though, i take it as my own
mistake as i am not that experience with parted i am usually using fdisk.
so the case is. i destroyed 1 partition data. and 3 are still save and
accessible. though i do had a backup of the first drive that way things are
still in my hand taking all the 3 partitions backup on another drive fore
safe side.
now the problem part is i can not re attach the fail drive partition with
RAID /dev/md[2,3,4] devices.

please ignore partition 1 of both drives as i already messed them up.
however i can not make all other remaining partition back on track as RAID.
when i pass this command.
root@nasbox:~# mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --add /dev/sdc2
mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/sdc2 as 2: Invalid argument
i did googled but didn't found something near to my issue. please help.
Thanks
Myk
