You can try doing an assemble with force after backing up whatever you 
feel you should (or can). Assuming you get an array at that point, you 
can do an information only file system check (fsck -n) to see what the 
state of the f/s might be. You can also run the 'check' action to see 
how unhappy mdadm thinks things are.

By that time you will have information to use or report back to the list 
for more ideas.
