That's not quite what I told you.
I think this is a software RAID. You'll have to use the md* devices.

There you go. The software RAID is
active, and that is why you can't use the raw /dev/sdb* devices. The MD driver has taken them over and provided md* devices in their place. sdb6 is available as md6, sdb5 is available as md8, etc, etc. Either it was setup this way from the start, or the system autodetected the RAID partitions and turned them into md devices for you.
You still can't use it all as one giant thing -- it never was one giant thing. But you should be able to mount these md1,md2,... devices individually.
Half the RAID seems to be missing, but since this was a mirror, it fortunately still works.
Since you didn't post the entire, unaltered output of mdstat I can't tell you where to mount which in what order.
