I am at my wits end and would very much appreciate your advice. Thank 
you in advance.

Looks like it started doing the initial synchronisation as normal, but
hid a read error on sdd1 which caused the array to fail.  sdd1 is left
as faulty, and sdb1 is spare as the rebuild didn't complete.  I'd
recommend testing sdd1 (SMART tests, read tests, write tests) before
trying to use it any further.

Cheers,
