A 'cat /proc/mdstat' will show which partitions are active in each md set. Use
'mdadm --add /dev/md_device /dev/partition_device'
to add back the missing partitions, being careful to match up the right device
names for the raid sets and partitions. This will start a sync with the newly
added and you can watch the progress with 'cat /proc/mdstat'. I'm not sure
exactly what conditions trigger an automatic sync and what requires the manual
one but if the system goes down cleanly they will pair up at reboot as long as
the partition type is FD.
