Thanks Wols, but, I was so impatient to solve this issue that I end up messing things up. :( In short, I was able to get it clean, but I'm not able to mount it, this is how it looks now: /dev/md/RAID: Version : 1.2 Creation Time : Fri Jan 18 19:10:11 2019 Raid Level : raid5 Array Size : 9767557120 (9315.07 GiB 10001.98 GB) Used Dev Size : 1953511424 (1863.01 GiB 2000.40 GB) Raid Devices : 6 Total Devices : 6 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Intent Bitmap : Internal Update Time : Fri Jan 18 19:10:11 2019 State : clean Active Devices : 6 Working Devices : 6 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 512K Name : andromedahive:RAID (local to host andromedahive) UUID : b6223486:cf8e0986:25f0a536:bf37d0dd Events : 0 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 81 0 active sync /dev/sdf1 1 8 65 1 active sync /dev/sde1 2 8 1 2 active sync /dev/sda1 3 8 17 3 active sync /dev/sdb1 4 8 49 4 active sync /dev/sdd1 5 8 97 5 active sync /dev/sdg1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- array disks details: /dev/sda1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x1 Array UUID : b6223486:cf8e0986:25f0a536:bf37d0dd Name : andromedahive:RAID (local to host andromedahive) Creation Time : Fri Jan 18 19:10:11 2019 Raid Level : raid5 Raid Devices : 6 Avail Dev Size : 3907022991 (1863.01 GiB 2000.40 GB) Array Size : 9767557120 (9315.07 GiB 10001.98 GB) Used Dev Size : 3907022848 (1863.01 GiB 2000.40 GB) Data Offset : 4096 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors Unused Space : before=4008 sectors, after=143 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 97785afb:f2bf46cf:03c16b45:838dc0f9 Internal Bitmap : 8 sectors from superblock Update Time : Fri Jan 18 19:10:11 2019 Bad Block Log : 512 entries available at offset 72 sectors Checksum : ec893da0 -

If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> or e2fsck -b 32768 <device> At this time, I'm still using mdadm v3.3.2. Do I have any chance to mount it?
