Just reply to all - the list sets up the reply-to headers

Oh, that's really bad. Something has gone disasterously wrong with
your RAID device. The first thing you ned to check is whether it got
put back together in the correct order - it may be that the disk
that is supposed to be the first in the array isn't anymore...

Have a look at the first sector of each device in the RAID array -
the one that should be first needs to have an XFS superblock in that
sector. The easy way to check that is to run:

$ sudo dd if=/dev/vda bs=512 count=1 2> /dev/null | hexdump -C

And the superblock has that "XFSB" magic number as the first 4 bytes
of the output.  Similarly, the second sector should contain an AGF
(magic number XAGF), the third sector an AGI (magic XAGI).

If the first device in the array does not have a XFSB at sector
zero, then the device definitely has been Sewn Back Together Wrong.

If that isn't the problem, then I think it is likely you are going
to lose a lot of data, and you should look disaster recovery tools
like xfs_irecover to extract the intact data rather than trying to
repair it...

Cheers,

Dave.
