I have a raid 6 setup with six drives using mdadm. I noticed I had a failed drive (b) that was not responding at all. Making sure all drives are properly connected I stopped the raid, unmounted and shutdown my computer. When starting it back up mdadm where unable to recreate the array. The failed drive (b) where back and working, even detected by mdadm, however two of the other drives (d & f) were not picked up by mdadm despite both functioning beforehand. They now show up as "Micsrosoft reserved". Various status command output,

@MikeAndrews no, I am fairly certain that I used the raw block devices themselves. Actually all six drives has a GPT on them with with the words "Micsrosoft reserved" when I look at the raw bytes on the drives. I think actually it's leftover data from previous use. The only difference I see is that sdd and sdf both have just zeros where the other ones have their RAID superblock. So the superblock does actually seem to just be done, somehow. :/

Ok, so through inspections I have come to the conclusion that the reason that it was detected as a "Microsoft reserved" partition is because those two drives somehow didn't in fact have their mdadm superblock anymore. The output of xxd -s 0x1000 -l 0x200 /dev/sdd
confirmed that there was just zeroes on both d and f. No idea how this happened.
Mostly following this I eventually ended up recreating the array. Running the following command mdadm --create --assume-clean --level=6 --raid-devices=6 /dev/md0 /dev/sda missing /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf
worked and after mounting as read only to check mount -o ro /dev/md0 /mnt
the data were all there it seems.
Unfortunately this reset the event count among other things meaning that re-adding /dev/sdb didn't work so it's now recreating from scratch.

the data were all there it seems.
Unfortunately this reset the event count among other things meaning that re-adding /dev/sdb didn't work so it's now recreating from scratch.
Ok, so through inspections I have come to the conclusion that the reason that it was detected as a "Microsoft reserved" partition is because those two drives somehow didn't in fact have their mdadm superblock anymore. The output of xxd -s 0x1000 -l 0x200 /dev/sdd
confirmed that there was just zeroes on both d and f. No idea how this happened.
Mostly following this I eventually ended up recreating the array. Running the following command mdadm --create --assume-clean --level=6 --raid-devices=6 /dev/md0 /dev/sda missing /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf
worked and after mounting as read only to check mount -o ro /dev/md0 /mnt
the data were all there it seems.

It looks like there's a guid partition table on sda and sdd? Did you make the array out of the partitions sda1 and sdd1, etc.? If so, you'll want to assemble the array with the partitions, not with the underlying devices.

@MikeAndrews no, I am fairly certain that I used the raw block devices themselves. Actually all six drives has a GPT on them with with the words "Micsrosoft reserved" when I look at the raw bytes on the drives. I think actually it's leftover data from previous use. The only difference I see is that sdd and sdf both have just zeros where the other ones have their RAID superblock. So the superblock does actually seem to just be done, somehow. :/
