I had a SATA data connector that was slightly skewed the other day, no more than 1.5mm, and it caused random read errors.

Sigh.. > I'm trying to get enough stamina to put the damn thing back on line... Guess it's just --assemble --force and then cross your fingers... Hmm, your mdstat does look a bit weird. Why wasn't the spare taken into use on md4? Perhaps you should check the event counters. Just in case the spares got added late in the game, got half-rebuilt and the MD crapped out? Wouldn't want to include them in the assemble in that case... (Dunno if it could even happen.
