The array is functioning normally (?)
I made the 3 devices faulty. I wonder why it's still clean and --test says it's functionning normally?!
Thanks for any info!

Same here with a RAID1 when I kill the last disk.

Additionally, when I try to remove one of these faulty devices and add it again, THEN i get some indication that the array is not so good anymore:
# mdadm /dev/md1 -r /dev/sdd2 mdadm: hot removed /dev/sdd2 # mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/sdd2 mdadm: cannot find valid superblock in this array - HELP
I got the same exact message when I tried with the 3 drives, obviously it is because the array is no longer there... and a final output of several programs give the output below. Stoping the array prevents me from starting it again. Assembling fails too (not enough disk to start the array):
mdadm: /dev/sdd2 is identified as a member of /dev/md1, slot 3.
mdadm: /dev/sdb2 is identified as a member of /dev/md1, slot 2.
mdadm: /dev/sdc2 is identified as a member of /dev/md1, slot 1.
mdadm: no uptodate device for slot 0 of /dev/md1
mdadm: added /dev/sdc2 to /dev/md1 as 1
mdadm: added /dev/sdd2 to /dev/md1 as 3
mdadm: added /dev/sdb2 to /dev/md1 as 2
mdadm: /dev/md1 assembled from 1 drive and 1 spare - not enough to start the array. (or with -R, ends with)
mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md1: Input/output error
mdadm: Not enough devices to start the array.
