yes, thanks, typo there. that was done hastily for the e-mail.
i had tried the right thing previously and here it is again. still no luck:
ch@snaggle:~$ sudo mdadm -E /dev/sd[defg]1 | egrep 'Events|^/dev/sd'
/dev/sdd1:
Events : 286024
/dev/sde1:
Events : 286011
/dev/sdf1:
Events : 286024
/dev/sdg1:
Events : 286024
ch@snaggle:~$ sudo mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 /dev/sd[dfg]1
mdadm: ignoring /dev/sdf1 as it reports /dev/sdd1 as failed
mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 0 drives and 2 spares - not enough to
start the array.
ch@snaggle:~$
