I know that the first time I attempted to reassemble the array I forgot to stop md127. After stopping it I still had problems (and thus my panicked email). However, I had been attempting to reassemble with all the drives -- including the spares. Once I tried to do the assembly without the spares, it worked like a charm and I was able to add the spares back in separately. I ran an fsck and it found only minimal errors and was able to correct them, and I ran a check of the array and everything looks good!
