How to remount a RAID 0 after a fresh install?

My server that holds all my music, tv shows, etc. stopped booting and after failing to get it running myself, I took it to a place and they reinstalled ubuntu on a different drive. I have 2 other drives in there combined in a RAID 0 that have all the media I want to stream, but I can't figure out how to mount them. I made the RAID with mdadm and I installed mdadm on my pc.

Running sudo fdisk -l gives me this:

dev/sdb and dev/sdc are my raided drives, but I can't figure out how to mount them. I've also used the "Discs" app in the desktop and I can see the drives and it says they're in a RAID, but I don't see a single RAID drive I can mount.

I also tried using sudo mdadm --detail with every dev/md# that seems likely I would have used when I maid it but keep getting back "no such file or directory."

What should I do to get my RAID back and mounted?

The two disks you’ve identified as being part of a RAID set are different sizes. What type of RAID were you using? JBOD? The error for each is a bit concerning, too …

So I got it mounted, I just don't know how I managed it. I downloaded and ran the command sudo dmraid -ay. It returned "no raid discs." I walked away for a few hours, didn't reset, and when I opened the Discs app, suddenly my RAID was there and I could mount it by clicking a button. I think the dmraid must have done it, even though it said it didn't find any raid discs.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
