You are getting this error because the RAID volume is configured to use a keydisk, but you are invoking the bioctl command in such a way as to use a passphrase. You'll need to pass the -k argument to bioctl and specify the partition that holds the keydisk. But the absolute first thing you should do is STOP trying to fix this problem without fully understanding the commands you are entering, because just about everything you have done up to now has made things more complicated. The actual original problem was probably just a spurious large file in /dev. You mentioned that you backed up your data in /home. Please take care not to accidently overwrite this backup because you are working quickly in a stressful environment.
