Two of the drives are dead, you're not going to see anything from them
and this is the output from cciss

in particular, it says physical drives: 3
That's 3 working physical drives. This array is both strange and shot.
It looks like thre was a raid 1 with a single 1TB drive, then a raid 5
of 3 smaller drives and another 1TB drive. And another of the smaller
drives in the raid 5 is about to die.
