I have a RAID 5 setup with one spare disk. One of the disks failed, so
I replaced it, and while it was recovering, it found some bad sectors on
another drive (unreadable and uncorrectable SMART errors). This
generated a fail event and shut down the array.
When I restart the array with the force command, it starts the recovery
process and dies when it gets to the bad sectors, so I am stuck in an
infinite loop.
I am wondering if there is a way to cut my losses with these bad sectors
and have it recover what it can so that I can get my raid array back to
functioning. Right now I cannot get a spare disk recovery to finish
because these bad sectors. Is there a way to force as much recovery as
possible so that I can replace this newly faulty drive?
Thanks
Lane
