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?
One technique is to use ddrescue to create an image of the failing drive(s) (I would image all drives if possible) and use those images to try to retrieve your data. -Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
