Q: how to re-assemble RAID5 array
After some stupid action (described here) I lost a RAID5 volume (4 x 6TB, OS 4.2.27). The partitions vanished from the partition table. No warranty, no backup. It would be nice (though not essential)...

You could try forcing the array online but you may wish to clone your disks first. If you coyountact support you could purchase a data recovery attempt where support would attempt to recover your data.
What is the SMART stats of your disks like?
Edit: Oops. I confused the creation time with the update time.

Before you try forcing it to start, what is the output of the following?
# cat /proc/partitions
# for i in /dev/sd[a-z]; do echo $i; smartctl -a $i | egrep "Model|Firm|Sector|Hours|Error|Uncorr"; done;
