Is this the final nail in the coffin? After running for a long time,
fsck ended with:

Group descriptors look bad... Trying backup blocks...
Superblock has an invalid ext3 journal (inode 8).
...
*** ext3 journal has been deleted - filesystem is now ext2 only ***

Corruptoin found in superblock. - (blocks_count = 0).

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock 
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate
superblock: 
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>

Should I try to run this last command:
e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/md0

?

Thanks,
James
