I had a RAID10 array fail a few nights ago, I have to admit that I am fairly lost on all of this. I have googled this extensively and I don't understand what is going on.

If anyone here can provide some insigth to get me going in a semi-productive direction, I would be very grateful.

I have posted the output of dmesg and mdadm here: http://pastebin.com/PwtaHP9e

    I am not all that good with the markup myself, but some nice 'tricks' are: 1) Four space in front of code or literal output. 2) If that is too much work, wrap it in pre and slash pre tags. And for one literal command use ticks (`).

Things certainly look strange. Did your drive sda fail and did you replace it?

md0 is active with one failed disk. That shouldn't be a problem, you might just mount it. To get it fixed you need mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sda1 to add the kicked out sda1 again and it should resync.

md1 is stopped and I don't know why exactly. Perhaps you can get it startet with mdadm --run /dev/md1 perhaps with added --force. If that works it should starting resyncing as sda2 is marked as spare.

If it doesn't work you might have to recreate md1 completely with data loss. As the devices are added to the raid at the moment you will have to remove them first with mdadm /dev/md1 --remove /dev/sda2 --remove /dev/sdb2 --remove /dev/sdc2 --remove /dev/sdd2/ and then recreate it with mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=10 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2

Perhaps you have to --fail all devices before md1 will let them go. Perhaps you have to --zero-superblock before you can recreate.

Much luck to you.
