Then it will have to use a2 and c2.

I tried that, but it refused to do it (something about 2/3 drives
failed)!? Maybe my mdadm version is old (v1.0.0)?

Hmmm. Should work, but might need a "--run" as well...

Can you get me an exact error message, and maybe the output of
 mdadm --examine /dev/sd[abc]2

OK, it's all attached. One file contains results of mdadm --examine, the
other is what I get on the screen with mdadm --assemble (w/wo --run)...
