Hi,
Thanks for the quick response!

Why would you fsck the failed member of a RAID5?
You said "format", please elaborate!
You should verify the disk is readable.
Verify readable? That is why I formatted the failed member, and did the
fsck. I couldn't think of a better way to do it. However..
It looks like your disk is bad. But a read test would be reasonable.
Try this:
dd if=/dev/had of=/dev/null bs=64k
It should complete without errors. It will do a full read test.
I expect it will fail.
I didn't think of trying 'dd', that's a good point. However, a moot
point right now, the drive died last night. *Sigh*
Anyway, thanks for the help!
