Greg- I'm not sure what the tricks are that you're refering to, but a page on how to properly do a recovery would be most appreciated. I just suffered from having drive partition info on one of my drives wiped out after/during/before a kernel panic and I eventually ended up with all the raid volumes on the system being corrupt. I wouldn't be surprised if the corruption was due to my efforts to restore the raid volumes.
