Huh? Normally you'd want to run fsck agains the blockdevice:

$ umount /media/olddepot
$ fsck.ext3 -nvf /dev/md2

If this still does not succeed, you could try specifying a different 
superblock (-b). But the important thing will be to get your raid in the 
right order, otherwise fsck could do more harm than helping.
