I didn't saw it. It is a possibility that the disk was configured as spare in the IOMEGA device. The second disque have its GPT table corrupt. So it would mean that the data are lost since the first disk is corrupted and the second, as a spare device, have no data on it. (I'm not the one that configured in first place the IOMEGA device. The guys that are using it came to me to see if I can recover their data) 2013/6/6 Aleh Suprunovich [off-list ref]:

It is better but it still doesn't work: $ mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 --run /dev/sdc1 mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md1: Input/output error mdadm: Not enough devices to start the array.One device should be enough to start RAID1 array.

Do you have acess to other drive, named /dev/sdb1 in your mdadm --examine output?
