:) I will give it another chance.
In case of failure FreeBSD and ZFS would be another option.



Don't forget that in the face of 3 disk drives that suddenly decide to play silly buggers, /no/ raid system will cope well. You are not having a problem because of Linux software raid problems - your problem is due to bad hardware. If you had a similar situation with a hardware raid system, it is quite unlikely that you would have had any chance of recovering your raid. What spoiled your chances of recovery here is the unfortunate bad advice you found on a website - but that won't happen again, since you now know to post here before trying anything!

The key lesson to take away from this experience is to set up a backup solution /before/ disaster strikes :-)
