You will need to manually assemble (not create !) your array with a
backup file outside the raid5, and the --invalid-backup option to
abandon the backup file you can't get to.  You will likely have some
unavoidable corruption at the reshape position due to this.

i am waiting for your input on this and how to continue. it seems that i actually set new chunk size to 64K not 128K as i was remembering. clearly i wasn't with a clear mind when i did all this.. should i be worried that reshape position is so at the beginning of the volume? maybe LVM vg0 metadata lost? (i am just assuming, don't know much about how and where LVM stores info about its volumes). the backup file is there, inside the array, if i could reach it somehow i could feed it to mdadm and would probably go well afterwards.

anyway, if just data is lost, i don't care, what are really important are some LVM volumes probably placed much further inside the array.

thank you phil!
