The file system was unmounted during the maintenance mode. What I ended up doing was: mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 /dev/hde1 ...... This recreated the RAID array, once that completed I was able to run fsck /dev/md0 and it cleaned the file system. I rebooted the server and it came up as normal. Thanks to all for your help.
