You don't say why two disks were kicked or when it happend so sdc may

I'm not 100% sure, but I think either of sda or sdb was the first
kicked... Dunno.

So...I would do a bad-block scan on sdb2 so it can remap the bad
section and re-build as you've been trying to do.

What tool would you use? I think that linux' badblocks operates on the FS
level... So it's useless on Software RAID5...

If you REALLY want to use sda and sdc just rebuild the array with --create and leave sdb out of it.  You shouldn't lose much data if
sdc is current.

I tried that and it simply ignores /dev/sda2...

I only need to recover as much data as possible. It's not that bad if I
loose yesterdays stuff.
