Okay, so we have:
sda - original disk
sde - original disk
sdf - supposed to be ddrescue of original sdc
sdg - ddrescue of original sdb
From the metadata, it would appear that sdf is not in fact a ddrescue of
sdc, so I'd suggest going back and redoing that. Check afterwards that
the metadata reported by "mdadm --examine" on the two disks matches.
Cheers,
Robin
