Can you tell which of the two drives may have died *first*? If so,
you may be able to force a configuration w/ the remaining 3 drives...
(leave the one that failed first completely out of the RAID set..)
The trick is to tell it to configure without doing any initialization
(or wiping of data) and mount stuff read-only. If you can configure
it this way, you should at least be able to read the data on the
RAID set...
Good Luck...
