got messed up for some reason. If you believe the drives are good, you can try recreating the arrays with the same layout to write fresh metadata to the drives, without overwriting the actual data. In this case it can be done like this (make a backup of the drives using dd before trying it): # mdadm -Ss # mdadm -C /dev/md/imsm0 -eimsm -n4 /dev/sdd /dev/sda /dev/sdc /dev/sdb -R # mdadm -C /dev/md/md0 -l5 -n4 /dev/sdd /dev/sda /dev/sdc /dev/sdb --size=900G --chunk=128 --assume-clean -R # mdadm -C /dev/md/md1 -l5 -n4 /dev/sdd /dev/sda /dev/sdc /dev/sdb --chunk=128 --assume-clean -R Drives should be listed in the order as they appear in the output from mdadm -E. Look at the "DiskXX Serial" lines. Then you can run fsck on the filesystems. Finally, repair any mismatched parity blocks: # echo repair > /sys/block/md126/md/sync_action # echo repair > /sys/block/md125/md/sync_action You may have to update places like fstab, bootloader config, /etc/mdadm.conf, because the array UUIDs will change.
