Looks like you got the problem you were so desperately asking for, with this
crazy setup. :(

I suppose the second failed drive is still mostly alive, just has some
unreadable areas? If so, I suggest that you get another new clean drive, and
while your mdadm array is stopped, copy whatever you can with e.g. dd_rescue
from the semi-dead drive to this new one. Then remove the bad drive from the
system, and start the array with the new drive instead of the bad one.
