Now I'm trying to ddrescue the drive to see what happens. My question is whether this is worth doing. Assuming ddrescue cannot read the bad sector either and writes 0's to the new drive, will I be able to rebuild the raid-5, from 2 good disks and this disk with a bad sector? I can assume there will be a bad file but will the array still function? Or I'm better off just build a new array from scratch. Any suggestions are appreciated.
