Subject: No resync
Is there a way to force assemble a stopped array that has too many
failed devices, while disabling the resync that would normally occur?
Well, of course if the array has too few members to start (even
after the --force), then it won't start and thus won't recync, but assuming
one has enough targets to assemble and run the array, I believe
--asume-clean will do what you want. It's in the man page.
