Problems with mdadm

[Soggy Chips]

Hi guys,

heres a nub plead for help, I have a wee mdadm raid5 array of 5 x 400gig drives on my Ubuntu box. Long story short the array is playing up. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Some things think the drives are down and some things don't. Device 3 appears to be stuffed in most of the reports however when I try and start array it does this

mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 2 drives - not enough to start the array.

mdadm --examine /dev/sda yeilds this

 /dev/sda:

so not only do so things seem to think there are no failed devices or one, some think that there are three. Also why when I examine sde does it think it is sda?
Any help I am very grateful for as I simply want to bring it up so I can migrate 1.6tb of data to a hw array. That and the missus is going to hate me if I've lost all her data

Please let me know if you find a solution to you problem. After a power failure my four RAID5 array is no longer working. When I examine each drive in the RAID array the statuses are out-of-sync like yours.
