Ok, so that's a superblock. Does it match the output of

# dd if=/dev/md2 bs=512 count=1 2> /dev/null | hexdump -C

It should match according to the above, but it doesn't hurt to confirm.  If
it doesn't then your RAID device has been SBTW and that's what you need to
fix first.

If it does match, can you dump the output of

# dd if=/dev/md2 bs=512 count=4 2> /dev/null | hexdump -C

and

# xfs_db -c "sb 0" -c p -c "agf 0" -c p -c "agi 0" -c p /dev/md2

Cheers,

Dave.
