/etc/raidtab is only used by the deprecated raidtools packages, so I 
wouldn't expect that file to be there. These days RAID arrays are 
managed with mdadm.

The command you want is

	mdadm --query --detail /dev/md0

- but replace '/dev/md0' with the /data device name. It does sound as if 
the RAID setup is faulty in some way. What you might want to do it put 
the drive back and THEN try the above command, and see if it shows 
anything amiss.
