I recently set up Ubuntu 18.04.2 Server installed onto a RAID1 array, and all seemed well until I had a system lockup after which it seems that the superblock of my RAID1 array became corrupted. I'm pretty sure this is not an issue with my drives themselves, because I had the same problem under similar circumstances (prior to crash I was using KVM on Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 installed on RAID1) with a different pair of drives.
What can I try to fix my superblocks and repair my installation? There is no critical data there, but I'd rather not have to reinstall and reconfigure my entire system again.

Edit: If I boot in Gparted, I am able to get a "MBR magic", but that confuses me because I had set up these disks for UEFI boot (EFI partition is on a separate USB by the way)
