Not sure if you are still in trouble. Anyways, since you are using metadata version 1.0, mdadm cannot use starting position manipulations to avoid the need for a backup file. Your mdadm -E reports all show the reshape position == 0, meaning it didn't actually reshape anything. You should try assembling with a --backup-file option and possibly also the --invalid-backup option to see what happens. Include --verbose and show the output here if it still doesn't work. Phil
