It turns out to be worse--the drive does in fact appear to be failing, which would be the third failure on this RAID6 array. I had what might be a crazy thought--would it be worth the trouble to attempt to use dd (or dd_rescue, a tool I found that claims to continue on bad blocks) to write the disk image to another disk, and attempt a rebuild with the new disk? Or am I just wasting my time? (The array is hosting an rsnapshot backup set, so I can recreate the latest snapshot, but it'll take a while. So it'd be nice to save the array if it's possible and not time- consuming.)
