I'm hitting my head on the wall for this one, I feel really stupid.
Long story short. I purchased a new disk and wanted to add it to an existing stripe. I created a new volume next to the current volume (not meant to do that) with the diskutility and deleted it ... went too quick to read the warning message that probably said it would delete all volumes when in fact I though only the new highlighted volume would go. Not sure what happened precisely...
Anyhow. I know the id's of the disk and how they were configured before the disaster, so there must be a way to recreate the array *without loosing the data*.
Any help appreciated !!!
Luckily I saved the configuration before doing anything:
