There been a steady stream of small bugfixes since 3.16.

Anyways, if I recall Seagate model numbering (past misery), these are green drives. Very bad for raid service. After we revive your array, you'll want to do some reading on 'timeout mismatch'.[1] (You are dangerously close to option "D" there, and option "C" is your only choice w/ green drives.) > ---- mdadm -E > /dev/sdb: > Magic : a92b4efc > Version : 1.2 > Feature Map : 0x1 > Array UUID : ce6de916:62aeda9c:b5688f54:f5a9249d > Name : andromeda:3 (local to host andromeda) > Creation Time : Tue Jul 22 16:02:30 2014 > Raid Level : raid5 > Raid Devices : 4 > > Avail Dev Size : 7813775024 (3725.90 GiB 4000.65 GB) > Array Size : 11720661504 (11177.69 GiB 12001.96 GB) > Used Dev Size : 7813774336 (3725.90 GiB 4000.65 GB) > Data Offset : 259072 sectors > Super Offset : 8 sectors > Unused Space : before=258984 sectors, after=3760 sectors > State : clean > Device UUID : e9e7af60:e1bc1c7f:107157b4:4099c48a > > Internal Bitmap : 8 sectors from superblock > Update Time : Mon Feb 9 05:13:20 2015 > Bad Block Log : 512 entries available at offset 72 sectors > Checksum : 57eaf19 - correct > Events : 158964 > > Layout : left-symmetric > Chunk Size : 512K > > Device Role : Active device 0 > Array State : AA..

Yup. If --assemble --force doesn't work with your installed OS, temporarily boot from a recent system rescue cd and do the above over again (especially the /dev/disk/by-id excerpt).
