I have nothing limited. It's all i get from the bash after excecute the script. i am not aware of using a fast -boot kernel, but i saw that it comes whit kernel version 2.6.28. i think after the raid crashes i upgrade to the last kernel version, because of having the newer mdamd, ext and what ever tools to recover the raid.
Am i right to use the --backup-file option, i must have a backup file ;)? i didnt have a file.
as far as i understand your advise, to recreate the raid and the order of the disks. you choose them by the output off mdadm -E wich gave the actuall number of the disk and the variation at disk sdd and sdn is because of both shows the same number, right? i think i understand that. but why is disk "j" the last in the order. my output say that disk sdd is number 13, but as spare for sda....?
here the stand after rebooting at the morning:

after that i would think the order confused because no disk is the right in the first line auf the position. but i would do this:
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 5 -n 13 -e 0.90 -c 64 --assume-clean /dev/sd{k,l,m,a,b,e,?d?,f,g,h,i,j,n}
or
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 5 -n 13 -e 0.90 -c 64 --assume-clean /dev/sd{k,l,m,a,b,e,?n?,f,g,h,i,j,d}
or what you think? how must i handle both spare disk sda and sdk?
