Thanks Phil,
The --invalid-backup parameter was necessary to get this up and running.
It's now up with the 7th disk as a spare. Shall I run fsck now, or can
I just try to grow again?
proposed grow operation:
> mdadm --grow -raid-devices=7 --backup-file=/dev/usb/grow_md127.bak
/dev/md127
> mdadm --stop /dev/md127
> umount /dev/md127 # not sure if this is necessary

Thanks,
Allie
assemble operation results:
root@ubuntu-server:/home/ubuntu-server# mdadm --assemble
--invalid-backup --update=revert-reshape /dev/md127 /dev/sd[a-g]3
mdadm: device 12 in /dev/md127 has wrong state in superblock, but
/dev/sdg3 seems ok
mdadm: /dev/md127 has been started with 6 drives and 1 spare.
