Re-assembling faulty array

Hey all,

I've got an array that seems to have failed while I was re-synchronizing
one of the disks.  sde fell out when I moved six disks from one chassis
to another.  I re-added it and it was 98.8% done with 300 minutes left
in the process when I went to sleep last night.  When I woke up, the
array was in a FAILED state, sdg was marked failed and sde was marked
spare.  I removed sdg from the array and re-booted and now the array
won't start.

Is there a way to re-add sdg back in to slot 5 rather than having it
added as a spare?  AFAICT, no writes have been made to sdg or md0 since
I removed it from the array, so it should be pretty close to its active
state.  sde must be nearly ready to be added in as an active participant
in the array, too.

Is there anything I can do to re-build the array at this point?

Cheers,

C.J.
