The RAID array consists of drives that are on cheap SATA controllers no RAID function on them. That is why I chose to use mdadm instead of a true RAID card. So the errors would happen regardless if heat was an issue? I'll wait until the reshape is done then, shutdown the machine and re-arrange the drives before I add another drive to the array. Thanks.
