First of all, check why your disks have failed. Once you're sure the
disks are ok, 

raidhotadd /dev/mdX /dev/sdYZ

where YZ are the device and the partition of the disk to add
(I don't remember right now if you can use the symlinked device or you
have to type in the full devfs path, check yourself :)

U means disk in use, _ means missing disk (missing in the sense that
it is configured but not used in the raid because not in sync)
