can i recover an all spare raid10 array ?

[Roland RoLaNd <r_o_l_a_n_d@hotmail.com>]

I have two raid arrays on my system:
raid1: /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdh1
raid10: /dev/sde1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdf1 /dec/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdg1


two disks had bad sectors: sdd and sdf <<-- they both got hot swapped. i added sdf back to raid10 and recovery took place but adding sdd1 to raid1 proved to be troublesome
as i didn't have anything important on '/' i formatted and installed ubuntu 14 on raid1 

now system is up on raid 1, but raid10 (md127) is inactive

cat /proc/mdstat

Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]

if i try to assemble md127 
  

  mdadm --assemble /dev/md127 /dev/sde1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdg1
mdadm: /dev/sde1 is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sda1 is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sdf1 is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sdb1 is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sdc1 is busy - skipping
mdadm: /dev/sdg1 is busy - skipping


if i try to add one of the disks:  mdadm --add /dev/md127 /dev/sdj1
mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/md127

if i try:

mdadm --stop /dev/md127
mdadm: stopped /dev/md127

then running:   mdadm --assemble /dev/md127 /dev/sde1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdg1

returns: 
 
assembled from 5 drives and 1 rebuilding - not enough to start the array

what does it mean ? is my data lost ? 

if i examine one of the md127 raid 10 array disks it shows this:
 
mdadm --examine /dev/sde1

the remaining two disks:

  mdadm --examine /dev/sdj1
mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/sdj1.
  mdadm --examine /dev/sdi1
mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/sdi1. 		 	   		  --
