Re: RAID5 failure; possible to repair?
- Zero all the superblocks on all the disks. (mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sd{b..d})
- Recreate the array with the "--assume-clean" option. (mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --auto=yes --assume-clean --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd)
- Mark it possibly dirty with: "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 --update=resync"
- Let it resync
- Mount it and see if it is restored
If this is not working your raid is lost.
