Then you can mark them as bad and linux will sync to a spare.
Because it is already running without redundancy - two disks marked as failed - it will simply go offline.
As for your sdc, I'd test it outside of the raid (dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/null) to see if this is a real defect or 'just' a checksum error. Then you might also try the fridge (if it's a real defect) or just ignore the error.
I assume it simply is a checksum error.
I think there is a special "dd" version which will not abort on a read error. With that you could also clone that drive (except the failing sectors ofcourse).
I will try to clone this disk and see what happens. Thanks for the hint Ralf - 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
