After re-creating the array which deleted my data in the first place,
'mount' was giving me this answer:

Thank you for your very fast answers.
First I tried 'fsck -n' on the existing array. The answer was that If I
wanted to check a XFS partition I should use 'xfs_check'. That seems to
say that my array was partitioned with xfs, not reiserfs. Am I correct?
Then I tried the different permutations
Dear Neil,
The point that I'm trying to make is, that there does exist a specific
case, in which recovery is possible, and that implementing recovery for
that case will not hurt in any way.
Assuming that it true (maybe hpa got it wrong) what specific
conditions would lead to one drive having c
