Here's the glusterfs.vol entry:

volume distribute
    type cluster/distribute
    subvolumes 192.160.200.11-1 192.160.200.11-2 192.160.200.12-1

What RAID card (or is this SW RAID)?  I'd start with the diagnostics.

Was the volume striping or distributed?  If striping, the data is 
possibly toast, and I'd suggest more effort in recovering the device. 
If distributed, you will be missing some files.
