Hi,
I would try:
1) detect which is the missing drive for md0 re-add it to the array
    and wait till rebuild of the array is completed.


    To detect which drive to re-add you can use this command:


      mdadm --examine /dev/sd* | grep -E "(^\/dev|UUID)"


    Output is similar to:


/dev/sda:
/dev/sda1:
     Array UUID : 423e4c05:aa5f073c:19d557d7:2d8ada5a
    Device UUID : 6335644d:1c23a8cb:8098f60b:893546f1
/dev/sdb:
/dev/sdb1:
     Array UUID : 423e4c05:aa5f073c:19d557d7:2d8ada5a
    Device UUID : e4234284:f7e12df4:9cc00061:13143756


look for drives with the same Array UID then run:
mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdxx

2) when you are done with md0, you repeat the array member detection
      for md1 and as the array are inactive I would stop them
      and restart them with the correct members


         mdadm --stop /dev/mdX

    
    Then try to reassemble the array manually:


    mdadm --assemble /dev/mdX /dev/sdxx /dev/sdyy


      eventually use --force


        mdadm --assemble --force /dev/mdX /dev/sdxx /dev/sdyy


     wait for rebuilding


3) then repeat the same process for md2

4) when everything is restored recreate mdadm.conf
   cp mdadm.conf mdadm.conf.bak
    mdadm --examine --scan > mdadm.conf.new


add the other configuration parameters you like

    DEVICE 
     HOMEHOST
     MAILADDR


     mv mdadm.conf.new mdadm.conf


5) rebuild your initramfs if you use one

      update-initramfs -k all -u




There is no guarantee that this works, you have been warned.
Hope this helps at least as inspiration to find a way to recover your arrays.

Ciao,
Tito
