RE: Should I Start Over?

That would be fine.  But we don't yet know which disk was trashed by the
re-build.  But as long as you have 1 missing disk it will not rebuild over
any more data.
If your command does not work try again with a different missing disk.

Humm.  I would guess it would re-build to the last disk on the command
line.
Maybe just enter the command again.  Can't do any more damage!  Then do
the
2 commands and send the output.

Ok, I want to be perfectly clear on this.  I'm going to enter the
following command, right?

# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/hdg1 /dev/hdd1
missing

Did the original array have 3 disks and 1 spare?  If so, ignore the spare
until things are working again.

Yes.  /dev/hde1 was the spare.  The array was comprised of /dev/hdg1,
/dev/hdd1, and /dev/hdc1.
