Have you read the raid wiki? Is there any chance you could run the 
--detail and --examine commands? (Yes I get you may have problem finding 
the disks to be able to run the commands on them! :-)

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Linux_Raid

You might have to take the disks out of the NAS, or force the whole 
thing into JBOD mode, but again if it won't boot, that might not be 
possible ...

Better than my foreign languages! If you can't express yourself clearly 
in English, then post bi-lingual. I'm guessing your first language is 
Spanish or Italian, which I don't understand, but there are probably 
people who do. But you need to use as much English as possible to get 
the best help.
