I assume you mean the partitions from the array?  I seem
to still have those:

blade01:root # ls /dev/sda*
/dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2

blade01:root # fdisk /dev/sda

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sda: 513.5 GB, 513557829120 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 62436 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
