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:

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.

This toasted your /swp partition.
Raid 0 is striping, and a single failure toasts the entire device.
You would have been ahead with a non-raid swap, and had 3 separate
partitions, one on each device, for swap. Failure of one would not have
toasted all.
