md127 = /dev/sd{b,c,d,e}1
LUKS on that
PV/VG/LV on that.

/dev/sda5 is also a LUKS partition with LVM on it for root.

I wonder if it's possible that whatever restored a GPT also restored a
LVM header, and somehow that picked it up?

Anyway, after doing bitwise backups of disks, I did a create
--assume-clean with --level=raid0 and the thing seems fine.

# fsck /dev/V_hostname/L_bu
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
e2fsck 1.42 (29-Nov-2011)
/dev/mapper/V_hostname-L_bu contains a file system with errors, check forced.

Free blocks count wrong (496207637, counted=496207638).
Fix<y>? yes

And that was pretty much it.
