What type are those partitions for your RAID inside the GPT? They should
look like this (output from gdisk -l):

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048      5860533134   2.7 TiB     FD00  primary

Note the Code "FD00" which stands for "Linux RAID". 

I guess (using my magic crystal ball) that your type/code is 8300 and
thus the initrd/kernel won't assemble the RAID.

Or you just need to "dpkg --reconfigure mdadm" to tell it to assemble
all arrays and not just the ones needed to boot.
