Some RAID5 clean arrays, after reboot not working

Looks like this:

Nov 28 19:00:33 kernel: md: sdc does not have a valid v1.2 superblock, not importing!
Nov 28 19:00:33 kernel: md: md_import_device returned -22
Nov 28 19:00:33 kernel: md: md0 stopped.
Nov 28 19:00:33 kernel: md: sdd does not have a valid v1.2 superblock, not importing!

Assembling array not working or kernel panic. The same problem founded here.

How-to repair

Assemble array with --update=devicesize

mdadm --assemble --verbose /dev/md0 /dev/sdd /dev/sdc /dev/sdb --update=devicesize

Original solution founded on German Ubuntu forum and works for me.
