Did you restore the raid 5, taking out the new drive, and add00ing it
back in properly? I can't take the time right now to give you a step by
step. The big warning on what you did wasn't a joke. You should get
help from md driver people. You do not have an LVM problem.

some realist disk usage, fsck (Read only) find ? tons of errors. Is
there a way to recover my data on the EXT4 FS ? Le Fri, 18 Apr 2014

None of that is relevant until you restore your raid 5. Your problem
was that you told md that your new blank drive was good, in-sync data.
Which is obviously isn't. You need to degrade your raid back to the one
missing drive. Then add the new drive normally - NOT using that experts
only shortcut with the big warning, which you used incorrectly.
