Though... on a positive note: I did find backups of my luks headers.

Like a filesystem superblock, your LUKS header probably fits neatly well within a single chunk, so provided that particular disk was in the right position in the array, it'd quite happily try and open it up. Unfortunately if the other drives are not quite right it will just fail to find the filesystem inside the container, or worse..
I don't consider everything to be right until it'll pass a fsck -n. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
