Thank you for the help.. unfortunately there's no opensuse live system anymore. Is the network installer, booted via PXE, maybe sufficient?
What do you mean there is no openSUSE live system?
https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/tumbleweed#livecd-ports is fully supported for this kind of use case
https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/testing#livecd-ports will be when Leap 15 is released
I mean the openSUSE install system/shell, there's a install image (initrd + kernel) somewhere repo/oss/boot/x86_64/linux and repo/oss/boot/x86_64/initrd these will do a network setup and will download other data as needed, providing the setup shell... and the setup system will have btrfs, mdadm and so on, i think. and thus this may be sufficient to recreate a clean file system, on a new raid, do chroot and fix other files. that's how I install openSUSE always, not even physical access to the system is needed. a live cd would require that and an optical disk drive.
