Some information on recovering linux soft raid can be found at

Your filesystem maybe marked read only, until you do an fsck. Boot to single user mode. The way to boot into single user mode, will depend on your Linux distribution.
After booting into single user mode, do a file system check on the partition. Unmount the partition if, its mounted.
umount /mnt/yourmountpoint
Then do a filesystem check
fsck /dev/sda1
fsck /dev/sdb1
If you're paranoid, you can remove the drive from the computer and put it in another computer to do the fsck.
