Yeah, tried that. It tries for a few seconds, then I get:
[root at storage ~]# mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/hdb /dev/hdc
mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 1 drive - not enough to start the array.

If I cat /proc/mdstat
[root at storage ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities :
md0 : inactive hdc[1] hdb[0]
      312581632 blocks super non-persistent

unused devices: <none>
