[aklug] Need help repairing an Ubuntu raid 5 array

My Ubutnu fileserver recently suffered a power failure and I haven't been able to get the raid5 array working since. I have been meaning to get it on a basic smart UPS that will shut it down during a blackout, but it looks like i dragged my feet too long.

The boot process drops to the maintenance shell when it can't mount /dev/md0, but i'm not able to reassemble the array, check it, activate it or anything. I'm getting more and more out of practice as my life transitions more toward work and family life.

I normally have hockey on Friday nights, but I was hoping there was a raid guru out there who could help me get it working again if I were to bring my fileserver down to FNL.

I'm sure it's something stupid and simple I'm overlooking, but it's driving me nuts. Let me know if anyone is interested in lending a hand.
