Smartd emailed me to say I have "1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors". This actually happened for two disks now. I ran a check and then a repair on my array and they both gave mismatch_cnt of 8. I ran a long self-test on both and they completed without error with no errors logged. Yet the 'Current_Pending_Sector' is still 1 on both, and one disk also has a 'UDMA_CRC_Error_Count' of 1. I ran 'hdrecover' on both and they are both telling me "Couldn't recover sector 2930277168". It's asking if I want to overwrite it with zeros to fix it, but I would assume this will damage my array? The disk sizes are 1500301910016 bytes and I use 1500250M partition sizes for the array components. Does that sector fall outside my partition, and hence would it be safe to overwrite it with zeros? Also, why did I have a mismatch_cnt? I haven't run another check since I did the repair, as I wanted to fix the pending sector. BTW, I have a 15 drive RAID6. Hope y'all can help.
