Finally I solved the faulty RAID1 problem using Testdisk.

(http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk)

I recreated the RAID array on a new pair of disks, then connected one
of the two unreadable RAID disks and fired up Testdisk. I chose the
right partition then left it analyzing the surface overnight and this
morning it had found all files and asked me for a place to restore
them. I gave it the newly created RAID path and in a few hours had all
my files back, including some copies of them that I renamed just
before the crash.

I have no idea why the old disks -all of them, including not faulty ones-
were suddenly seen as 232.9G instead of 2TB and were unmountable
and/or unusable as RAID although I never wrote a bit on them, Anyway
problem solved, and a few bucks donated to the guy who wrote that
tool.

Glad you save your data.

I have also used Testdisk and it worked so well, I sent them a 
contribution.
