ddrescue to the rescue!
Get a another new disk, then ddrescue the one with the read error to
the new disk.
Assemble the array using the new disk instead of the one with the read error.
You will loose the blocks that can't be read of course.
And in the future do run raid check/scrubbing at regular intervals. ;)

You may be better cloning the original failed disk - that way it will
have a chance of actually recovering the read error (rather than having
to lose the blocks). It depends on why/how/when the original disk failed
though.

The original failed disk can't be recognized by the controller. I tried to read the disk on another machine with no luck. It appears to be completely dead.
