$ s=(e u i o foo a)
$ t=(${s[@]#*foo})
$ echo "${t[@]}"

e u i o a

instead of expected:

a

If switching to zsh is an option, you could do it as:

s[(r)foo,-1]=()

Where r is the reverse subscripting flag which allows you to reference array members by value instead of index, here to assign the empty list () to the range of elements from the first with value foo, to the last element (-1).
