Hi, I had a disk fail out of sw-raid5 array with a medium error. I'd like to check the disk for bad blocks, and if it shows up with some, call me vendor and get them to replace the disk. In the past I've shut the machine down and run the scsi bios media check. Would it be possible for me to remove this disk from the array and run badblocks on it to get the same information? If I could not shut down the system I would prefer to. My major wonder is will badblocks be effective for looking for a medium error?
