Turns out it wasn't a filesystem issue--it was a RAID issue, and it  
boiled down to just knowing the right command.  I just needed to  
figure out how to start the array when one disk was missing, and it  
worked just fine.

Now I just need to contact Maxtor and get that hard drive replaced  
(it's still under warranty) before another hard drive decides to fail.
