Re: RAID 6 recovery (it's not looking good) *Even More problems*

After cloning the partition of the 1.5TB disk to a replacement 500, it
wouldn't assemble as it had a different UUID.

Is this new Drive 500TB of data.

I cloned a failing 500GB drive to 1.5TB drive using dd rescure and then to
clone it back to a 500GB drive I dd'd the partition because it was a smaller
drive.

So I tried assembling with assume clean and the first time I got
mount: /dev/md0: can't read superblock

How did you copy the super block.

Not sure what you mean there? Which superblock?

So I tried a different order and got
mount: Structure needs cleaning

And then trying the first order again I got
mdadm: failed to open /dev/sdp1 after earlier success - aborting

did you run fsck after booting you could set up that.

Not sure why this will be helpful? There's not an independent file system on
each md device is there?
