Not really sure. But don't do anything until someone that really knows answers! What I think... If you did a create with the exact same parameters the data should not have changed. But you can't mount so you must have used different parameters. Only 1 disk was written to during the create. Only that disk was changed. If you remove the 1 disk and do another create with the original parameters and put "missing" for the 1 disk your array will be back to normal, but degraded. Once you confirm this you can add back the 1 disk. You must be able to determine which disk was written to. I don't know how to do that unless you have the output from "mdadm -D" during the create/syncing. But please don't proceed until someone else confirms what I say or gives better advice!
