Array is online, degraded for the moment but I can access the file systems for backups. I passed -A --force to mdadm, seems that did the trick. What puzzles me still is that I had a degraded array for the third time now and never could tell why it happened in the first place. This time the mac

Mystery solved: had to probe another module. Wait, wait, I can defend myself :) What led me to believe the controller was autoprobed during boot is that mdadm complained about *sdd*, but not about sd[abc], hence I assumed [abc] were all fine. Plus, I didn't have to probe the module man
