It looks like /dev/sdd is having some kind of intermittent read issues (which wasn't happening before the reshape started) but I still don't understand why it wouldn't be marked as failed in the md2 section of mdstat, since md0 is accessing it via md2. At any rate, that doesn't help me with my most immediate issue: does a drive failing during a reshape corrupt the array? Or am I safe to resume the reshape? Is there any way to restore my safety net a bit before resuming the reshape, or will I just have to hope nothing else goes wrong between now and the time the new hot spare is finally incorporated?
