Thanks Wol, Booting in SystemRescueCD and looking in /proc/mdstat, two arrays are reported. The first (md126) in reported as inactive with all 7 disks listed as spares. The second (md127) is reported as active auto-read-only with all 7 disks operational. Also, the only "personality" reported is Raid1. I could go ahead with your suggestion of mdadm --stop array and then mdadm --assemble, but I thought the reporting of just the Raid1 personality was a bit strange, so wanted to check in before doing that...
Always remember - provided you don't use a --force, it won't do any damange. Given that booting into a rescue CD didn't assemble correctly, it looks like --stop then --assemble won't work. You need to follow the instructions in "when things go wrogn".
Cheers, Wol
